ABOUT BSF

BSF is an international non-governmental organization. Since 2007, in more than 30 countries, BSF has provided access to education, information, and culture for those deprived of it. Through the development of innovative and mobile tools (Ideas Box, Ideas Cube, Kajou cards), tailored content selection, training, and support for field actors, BSF aims to enable everyone, in all circumstances, to live with dignity through better access to knowledge.

CONTEXT

As part of projects aimed at supporting the resilience and empowerment of youth and women, implemented in the Ouaddaï region in eastern Chad, BSF works alongside NRC, Al Barka, Sudan Volunteer Organization, and CRASH to strengthen the resilience of Sudanese refugees and host communities around the Allacha, Metché, and Arkoum camps. This project focuses on strengthening community leadership, providing vocational training for youth (15-25 years old), psychosocial support, educational support, and legal assistance to provide project beneficiaries with the skills and resources needed to transition toward sustainable livelihoods in a protracted crisis context.

In this context, BSF seeks to recruit an Arabic-speaking consultant in digital instructional design to develop two interactive training courses on the Moodle platform. Team applications are also welcome in the form of a joint proposal.

OBJECTIVES OF THE CONSULTANCY

The mission involves designing, structuring, and developing two interactive digital training courses on Moodle, potentially using content provided by BSF and its partners (technical documents, videos, lesson plans, diagrams, etc.), as well as sourcing other relevant resources for the modules. The creation of additional content (such as audio dubbing, etc.) may be considered as part of this mission to address any gaps in pedagogical resources. The entire course must be provided in Modern Standard Arabic to facilitate understanding among beneficiaries.

The two courses target Sudanese and Chadian young adults (15–25 years old) with varying literacy levels, in a humanitarian context. They complement in-person training delivered by NRC and Al Barka and should allow learners to validate skills progressively, independently, and in an engaging manner. The courses are not intended to replicate the full in-person training but should cover the key learning outcomes. Therefore, they should be concise and include a limited number of modules (to be defined with the consultant).

The themes are:

• Pastry and Bakery: primarily aimed at a female audience
• Solar Panel Installation and Repair: primarily aimed at a male audience

The consultant does not need to be an expert in these areas, but prior familiarity with the topics and/or the ability to present a versatile team will be considered an asset. They will liaise with a subject-matter expert based in Chad, and validation and feedback sessions will be organized.

DELIVERABLES

At the end of the mission, the following deliverables are expected:

– Two detailed instructional designs (one per course), validated by BSF and thematic experts, specifying objectives, structure, scripts, activity types, and assessment methods.
– Two complete Moodle courses, integrated and tested on a demo instance of the platform, including:

• One main educational video per module (provided or edited from raw material).
• Additional resources (fact sheets, visuals, technical documents, etc.).
• Interactive activities: quizzes, open questions, drag-and-drop exercises, etc.
• Skill validation mechanisms (badges, scores, or simple certificates).

-A user guide for facilitators or trainers.

-A technical transfer package (SCORM content or Moodle backup) for integration into deployed Ideas Cubes.
