ONLINE LEARNING CONTENT DEVELOPER
AWB’s experience during the pandemic has revealed the significant benefits of embracing online delivery as a major component of its operations. Online programming allows us to bring together large groups of volunteers from numerous countries with a wide range of expertise to offer projects in low and middle-income countries, including in places where on-site work was not previously possible.
We are looking for volunteers to assist with the development and delivery of online and blended projects in collaboration with other volunteers who have expertise in the content area of the project and with faculty and staff at our partner institutions. The support provided by the volunteer will vary with each project, including strategic guidance aimed at designing high-quality online educational spaces, adapting content to online delivery, and offering technical assistance.
The online teaching and learning content developers will assist other AWB volunteers to be more effective in achieving project objectives. There will also be opportunities to share your knowledge and skills with colleagues at partner universities who desire to learn about effective online teaching strategies and tools.
We are looking for 4-6 volunteers.
We are looking for volunteers with knowledge and expertise in most of the following areas:
Applying sound pedagogical design to online learning at the post-secondary level
Advising and supporting instructors in creating online courses within a learning management system (LMS) or Virtual Learning Environment (VLE)

Applying Web development skills such as: overall page design and layout, embedding interactives using H5P, infographic creation
Ensuring courses adhere to AWB and partner institution quality and accessibility standards
