Overview

GNS Science has been engaged by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) for a programme they are funding with the overarching goal of contributing to a Caribbean that is more resilient to the impacts of volcanic eruptions. Part of this programme aims to increase the awareness of volcanic hazards and preparedness in the emergency management sector in the English-speaking Eastern Caribbean.
GNS Science has experience in delivering a 2 to 3-day Volcano Short Course for the emergency management sector in New Zealand, and this has previously been done as a face-to-face course. In Year One of the funded programme, GNS Science will redevelop this Volcano Short Course, in collaboration with the University of West Indies Seismic Research Centre (SRC), so that it can be delivered in an online format. The course will be delivered as a 2-day remote course, with online facilitation, and GNS Science is working to an agreed budget with MFAT.
To enable the Volcano Short Course to be delivered in an online format, GNS Science is seeking to engage an organization with a broad range of online Learning and Development expertise, experience and capacity. Specifically, we are seeking design and development of the course in an online environment, based on content used in the existing New Zealand Volcano Short Course, which utilizes effective active learning strategies and is hosted on a cloud-based platform that meets the Government Chief Digital officer (GCDO) requirements. We are keen to see an iterative approach to course development with regular feedback loops and opportunities for feedback.
Once developed, the online course should be accessible to our Caribbean project partners for testing and to be used as a stepping platform for potential further development and iterations in years 2 and 3, pending a future funding agreement by MFAT.
We are seeking a suitable qualified Online Learning and Development (L&D) Service Provider to provide the following services:
• General consultancy on the best practice approaches for delivering an interactive online course (in English).
• The content migration, design and content creation services needed for the online course development.
• The course hosting and any other online L&D delivery services associated with domestic and international participants potentially completing the online learning in the future.
