Pillar 1. Content Creation

The first component of the modernized training system is the machinery to develop standardized training material that can be used for training all personnel across the country. The material developed needs to be:

  1. standardized (to ensure consistent messaging/ practices) accessible openly in an electronic form
  2. reusable (the same training content can be used for overlapping needs for different cadres) 
  3. easily updatable (to allow easy change of standardized content)

This component will involve a large number of stakeholders ranging from national institutions, technical and programmatic experts, to instructional learning experts and digital media creators. All the stakeholders need to follow uniform processes to interact and produce training material, spanning all of NTEP operations, in a consistent manner, maintaining a high level of quality.

The system of content development will be made of three parts. These are:

  1. Knowledge map: It is a list of ideas that require to be included in training and will encompass all training needs in NTEP. Each item/ idea will detail out the messages/ learning objectives that need to be conveyed.
  2. Page Library: Based on the list of ideas on the knowledge map, training content using different media (Text, images, videos, animation etc) are prepared as Content Pages. Content Pages will also include linked questions based on the various learning objectives. The list of Content Pages are available in the Page Library.
  3. Training Courses: Based on the training need for each cadre the Content Pages are organized in to Courses consisting of modules and chapters along with quizzes (based on questions of each node).

These three different parts are explained in more detail in the subsequent sections.
