Subsystem 1: Content Creation

The first subsystem of the modernized training system is the machinery to develop translatable multi-media training material that can be used for training all personnel across the country. The material developed needs to be:

  1. standardized and translatable(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 is built to include all stakeholders that delevelop training material, ranging from national institutions, technical and programmatic experts, to instructional learning experts and digital media creators. They all 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: Each idea on the knowledge map, is converted into training content using different media (Text, images, videos, animation etc) called Pages or Content Pages. The 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 and curricula: 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). The Courses are also linked with a trainer's guide, that specifies how the training needs to be executed and includes aspects beyond the content such as post session activities, practical excercises, role plays etc. The guide also indicates the training method in relation to physical and theoretical concepts.

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