The utilization of the virtual platforms is a core component of eLearning deliverables. IIR leverages technology to develop and improve virtual learning platforms. Recordings of webinars and podcasts are published and made available for future viewing on the CenTF website’s Training and Technical Assistance Web page.
IIR completed a project plan and level of effort proposal for developing the 7-lesson module-based course in-house at IIR. IIR also researched and obtained proposals from professional curriculum development vendors Vivayic (www.vivayic.com) and Allen Communications (www.allencomm.com). Both companies were comparable in quality, professionalism, and expertise in developing modern interactive courses that would integrate into the CenTF LMS. After reviewing the three proposals, IIR determined that it would be cost-effective to contract with a vendor to develop the course, with IIR monitoring and managing the project (ex. reviewing and vetting each level of development through appropriate IIR quality control and BJA channels, working with IIR’s IT department on integration with the current LMS system, etc.). A proposal was provided to BJA and approval is pending. If approved, a budget modification will be submitted to BJA.
In the next reporting period, IIR will begin discussions with BJA on the development and delivery of a series of podcasts on topics relevant to task force operations. Progress on the podcasts will be shared in the next reporting period.
