SHORT TERM E- CURRICULUM/LEARNING DEVELOPER

BACKGROUND

The development of multimedia and information technologies, as well as the use of the internet as a new mode of teaching, has made radical changes in the traditional process of teaching towards digital solutions. Recognizing the critical role of technology in continuous education, e-learning platforms have increasingly become important in institutions of higher education. The introduction and expansion of a range of e-learning tools have been initiating several changes in higher education institutions, particularly when it comes to their educational delivery and support processes. Therefore, the best way to include everyone especially judicial officers in different regions in Kenya is through an e-learning platform. E-learning is advantageous since it helps in cost reduction, helps in the distribution of multimedia materials, greater accessibility regardless of location, resource scalability, improved academic results, self-paced learning, and cost-effectiveness.

In this regard, IDLO in partnership with the Kenya Judiciary Academy (KJA) seeks to engage a E- Curriculum/Learning Developer to convert manuals on contemporary access to justice issues into e-versions for the KJA e-learning platform.
