For every child, the right to childhood

How can you make a difference?

Digital refers to the use of electronic technologies and media to deliver learning material and achieve learning outcomes for the audience. E-learning is becoming increasingly important in education globally to support children’s learning, education leadership and management, and the more effective use of data for students, teachers, and systems-wide learning. It could stimulate interaction between instructors and learners, but also provide education in an effective manner.

To make e-learning possible, content mapping exercises and the generation of digital content are fundamental to the process.

Purpose and Justification

Given the emerging efforts to develop eLearning within Mozambique and to work towards a coherent approach, UNICEF will generate and develop digital content on various electronic platforms for different educational groups.

Under the guidance and general supervision of the Digital Learning Specialist and the Chief of Education, the E-learning interns will map the provided content to existing digital materials across different platforms, build quizzes, mini-games, and online tests for children across various subjects. In addition, interns will propose and follow up on digital material that needs to be developed with partners/vendors under supervision.

The E-learning interns will provide technical assistance throughout the generation of the e-learning content and digitization of educational material, and the internship will be for a period of 4 to 6 months.
