Instructional Design for Competency-Based Learning (CBET)
Education in Kenya and the region is undergoing a massive shift towards Competency-Based Education and Training (CBET). The old "chalk and talk" methods are obsolete. This course prepares educators and trainers to thrive in this new landscape.
It combines the science of how adults learn (Andragogy) with the systematic approach of Instructional Design (ADDIE model). You will learn how to deconstruct a job role into specific competencies, design curriculum maps that align with industry standards, and create assessments that measure ability rather than just memory.
Whether you are a TVET tutor, a corporate trainer, or a university lecturer, this course gives you the toolkit to design learning experiences that produce job-ready graduates.
What You Will Learn
- • ADDIE Model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation).
- • Mapping competencies to learning outcomes.
- • Designing rubrics and portfolio assessments.
- • Constructive alignment principles.
Career Impact
The Hard Skill
Creating CBET-compliant curriculum maps and assessment tools.
Market Gap
The government mandate for CBET in TVETs has created a massive skills gap among existing tutors who were trained in traditional methods.
LMS Administration & E-Learning Integration
The classroom is now digital, but a Learning Management System (LMS) is only as good as its administrator. This course demystifies the backend of e-learning. Focusing on industry standards like Moodle and Canvas, we take you under the hood of digital education.
You will learn how to install and configure an LMS, manage user roles and security, track student progress through analytics, and troubleshoot common issues. Beyond the technical, we explore the pedagogical strategies for "blended learning," ensuring that the technology supports rather than hinders the learning process.
This is a high-demand technical skill for educational institutions and corporations moving their training online.
What You Will Learn
- • LMS installation and plugin management.
- • User enrollment and role assignment.
- • Course backup and migration.
- • Learning analytics and reporting.
Career Impact
The Hard Skill
Configuring and managing Moodle/Canvas LMS platforms.
Market Gap
Many institutions purchased LMS software post-COVID but lack the technical staff to manage them effectively, leading to "ghost" platforms.
Multimedia Content Creation for Educators
In the age of TikTok and YouTube, text-heavy PDFs are the fastest way to kill a student's interest. This course empowers educators to become content creators. You do not need a Hollywood studio; you need the right techniques.
We teach you how to script educational videos that retain attention, record high-quality audio and video using accessible equipment, and edit content using tools like Camtasia, Canva, or CapCut. You will also learn to create interactive SCORM packages—lessons that students can click through and interact with.
This course bridges the gap between being a subject matter expert and being an engaging digital communicator.
What You Will Learn
- • Scriptboarding for education.
- • Screen-casting and "talking head" recording techniques.
- • Video editing (cutting, transitions, audio syncing).
- • Creating interactive HTML5 content (H5P).
Career Impact
The Hard Skill
Shooting and editing educational video/audio content.
Market Gap
Student engagement in online learning is low because most content is boring. Engaging multimedia is the solution.
