The IIJ is seeking to engage an experienced e-learning consultant who can support the redesign and development of the IIJ’s current online content ensuring that the materials are accessible, engaging and in line with the IIJ’s learning objectives and methodologies.

• Ensure the learning management system (Canvas) remains accessible and usable. 
• Ensure the content aligns with the CTAC learning methodology, aims and objectives.

2. Develop features within the e-learning content to improve user engagement including but not limited to:

• Developing learning paths for users to complete each module.

3. Ensure course leaders/IIJ staff can evaluate progress and engagement with the online content.
4. Engage with the IIJ learning platform provider (Canvas) to embed content on the platform and ensure materials remain accessible taking into consideration the needs of the users – including users accessing the platform with limited/poor internet access.
