Moodle LMS Instructional Designer

Agency: UNDP | Reference: UNDP-PHL-01037 | Type: Call for individual consultants Description of the Assignment:The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), through its ICT Literacy andCompetency Development Bureau (ILCDB), is actively strengthening community-based digital skillstraining nationwide. Central to this mandate is the enhancement of the Digital Transformation Centers(DTCs), which serve as the vital physical landing points for localized capacity development initiatives. Tomodernize and scale these efforts, the DICT is enhancing the Tech4ED DTC portal to act as the project’sdigital backbone—a centralized infrastructure designed to stream standardized learning content andmonitor learner performance across all DTCs.Crucially, the DICT recognizes that effective learning cannot be fully digitized; it is a complex process thatoften necessitates a tactile, social interface. Therefore, the project places equal emphasis on ensuringthat local center operations are equipped with the capacity to deliver high-quality, blended training thatperfectly complements this digital infrastructure.To support this initiative, the DICT-ILCDB is collaborating with Digital PINAS in the enhancement,customization, and integration of the existing Moodle-based Learning Management System (LMS) to theTech4ED DTC portal. This collaboration enables the DICT to upgrade its current platform into a scalabledigital infrastructure for managing and delivering nationwide training programs, while simultaneouslyproviding Digital PINAS with a robust vehicle to reach MSMEs with targeted learning interventions andbusiness development resources. The Moodle LMS is envisioned not merely as a content delivery platform,but as a dynamic enabler of meaningful and sustained learning. By complementing on-the-groundfacilitation at DTCs with structured digital support, the system will ensure that capacity-building effortstranslate into tangible digital literacy and improved enterprise productivity.The project requires two (2) Moodle specialists who will architect and implement the Moodleenhancement and integration: an LMS Technical Developer and an LMS Instructional Designer. Workingtogether, these specialists will audit and enhance the existing environment to meet the highest standardsof technical and pedagogical design. While the Technical Developer focuses on the robust infrastructure,security, and backend environment of the platform, the LMS Instructional Designer is responsible for the"human-centered" layer—transforming complex curriculum into engaging, automated, and sound digitallearning experiences. This ensures that the enhanced platform is not just functional but remains intuitiveand optimized for high-impact learning.
