Technical requirements: In order to supply competitive and good digital teaching aids for secondary education, NDLA must undergo restructuring in the coming years. The production processes for development and management of teaching aids will change. The teaching plans that form the basis for the teaching aids, will be changed, and other factors can affect NDLA's assignment and financing in the coming years. Therefore we have a need to connect with good consultants in teaching aid production and different models for networking collaboration and ‘cloud sourcing’ over the internet. There will also be a need for project managers who can lead restructuring projects in our core business.
This competition comprises the signing of parallel framework agreements for the following service areas:
NDLA is a business that bases it's processes on ‘Lean’ and ‘Lean Innovation’. The business produces and manages digital teaching aids that are supplied in a digital format to secondary education. Periodically we need project managers who can support us in the work with improving the framework provisions for our core processes, or in the work with reorganising and improving the processes themselves. The framework provisions consist i.a. of production tools, communications systems and portals such as ndla.no, deling.ndla.no, fyr.ndla.no etc.
In their restructuring projects, NDLA needs advice from specialists in modern production methods for the development of digital teaching aids. NDLA will publish on their own portals and through external tenderer of teaching software. In the future, NDLA's content will be shared in arenas for sharing of ‘Open Educational Resources’ (OER).
NDLA has three key processes that directly impact the published learning resources: Building Science, Better science and Management of content.
In their restructuring projects, NDLA needs advice from specialists who have experience from networking and ‘cloud sourcing’ oriented content production. NDLA has organised content production in their latest subject, through the network of contributors who provide content to a central editorial team.
Open sharing platforms and interface with third party providers of teaching software will give NDLA the ability to let users themselves create their own versions of the teaching resources that they can also share with others. Users can give feedback on the published content and present suggestions for improvements. NDLA must figure out how to extract benefits from this in a management improvement and user sharing context. A good model in this area will be crucial for NDLA's own capacity and ability to manage, improve and develop new learning resources in the future.
