The Learning, Leadership and Organizational Development Section of the UN is looking to hire and Instructional Design consultant to work on a project until December 31st, 2017.
The overall objective of OHRM is ‘To promote organizational culture change in the Secretariat in order to address new requirements and needs’. Learning activities are organized under the following categories; Leadership, management and organizational development; Human and financial resources management; Information technology training; Language and communications programmes; and Substantive skills development and career support. The organizational scope of these activities is secretariat-wide. In OHRM, the Learning, Leadership and Organizational Development Section (LLODS) and the Career Support and Performance Management Section (CSPM) undertake the global responsibility of designing, developing and delivering these programmes in collaboration with the offices away from HQ and regional commissions.
The Learning and Career Support Strategy 2014-16 outlined how the United Nations Secretariat learning programmes, Centrally Coordinated Programmes (CCP) and Language and Communications Programmes (LCP), would move towards more dynamic online methodologies. Since then, many online learning programmes have been developed. Popular methodologies have included web conferencing, videos, communities of practice and self-directed eLearning modules.
One specific programme that the current learning needs assessment exposed as a continued need is for more effective project management learning. Our current programme is offered through the online learning library Lynda.com. Based on the low participation rates and the fact that the only methodology currently offered is self-paced, we concluded that this offer is not properly addressing our clients´ need. Therefore, OHRM is looking for a vendor to provide a wider variety of online learning solutions for this programme.
Additionally, OHRM supports the rollout, management and evaluation of the Secretariat wide mandatory learning portfolio. Most mandatory learning is currently delivered using online SCORM packages, that require a learner to click through a series of screens and pass multiple choice tests to verify completion. As these packages expire, both based on content and technology (Flash, which will no longer be supported in two years), OHRM would like to conduct a research assessment to recommend more effective learning methods to deliver compliance/mandatory learning.
Based on the projects outlined above, LLODS is searching for a qualified consultant to support the research, project management, development and delivery of specific learning solutions.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

United Nations Core Values: Integrity, Professionalism, Respect for Diversity
BACKGROUND:
The UN, with its many specialized departments, missions and offices, has extensive knowledge
specific to the UN’s culture, policies, procedures and context. These pieces of knowledge often
need to be transferred to UN staffing groups or to the entire Secretariat population. Depending
on the usage of this knowledge, staff need either formal or informal learning solutions to help
them access and use this knowledge to better achieve their individuals work plans and
department specific mandates.
The UN Secretariat’s Learning and Career Support Strategy 2014 – 2016 highlighted that access
to quality learning prevented staff from being adequately supported in their jobs. Since the
strategy’s adoption, several initiatives have been developed to improve this area, including
more online learning through self-paced courses, WebEx instructor-led learning, web
applications, videos and online tutorials. As online learning across the Secretariat continues to
expand, the delivery methods used need to be more dynamic and really meet the needs of UN
staff globally. Additionally, to drive a higher quality in the learning experience for UN staff,
