Consultancy type:
Background:
The PACER Plus Implementation Unit (PPIU) requests proposals from suitably qualified local and international based candidates who wish to provide services to oversee the initial planning, development, and implementation of online content across the PACER Plus Learning Management System. This role involves coordinating with multidisciplinary teams including technical advisers, content developers, and ICT support assistance to ensure seamless integration and delivery of high-quality educational content.
Since establishment the PPIU has delivered capacity building to Pacific Island Countries (PICs) on technical trade-related areas and strengthened knowledge and understanding across the different Chapters of the Agreement. Ongoing capacity building and training are consistently requested by PICs, however costs to deliver these trainings face-to-face are continually increasing. Furthermore, in many cases, participants have limited capacity to take these learnings and share at the country level, which is further complicated by a high level of staff turnover in key positions.
To ensure effective knowledge management, improve access to learning materials and sustainability of capacity building, the PPIU is focusing efforts on establishing an online learning management system (LMS) and associated resources. The LMS has been conceptualised and a basic structure has been established utilising “Moodle” an online learning platform for delivery of PACER Plus capacity building.
Building on an existing suite of learning materials delivered through various workshops and capacity building events over the past years, the PPIU is seeking a consultant to build an initial PACER Plus course, including a suite of specific thematic learning modules to be delivered through the Moodle platform that focuses on key components of the Agreement. This initial suite of trainings will be used as a prototype for future learning courses and modules which will extend to a broader audience on a range of relevant topics.
