In response to the need for flexible and accessible educator training, VVOB transformed its traditional face-to-face capacity-building initiatives into a comprehensive digital learning program. This initiative aimed to enhance the professional development of educators through a series of self-paced, multimedia-rich microlearning courses designed to be compatible with various platforms and accessible in low-tech environments.
OES addressed VVOB’s challenge by designing 29 microlearning modules, each focusing on specific educational themes. The transition to microlearning allowed for the design of short, impactful, and direct courses that were media-rich to illustrate difficult concepts.
To ensure the courses were accessible and effective, we developed them to be compatible with mobile devices. Despite being media-rich, we ensured the courses were accessible for learners with low bandwidth and could be easily translated into other local languages. The multimedia elements, such as short texts, illustrations, videos, audio, quizzes, and interactive activities, were integrated to engage learners and support knowledge and skill acquisition.

Enhanced Educator Engagement
The digital courses enabled educators to focus on targeted professional development areas through accessible, self-paced learning.
Improved Training Delivery
Due to the digital and mobile-compatible courses, the training could be deployed efficiently, even in low-tech environments.
Scalable and Adaptable Solutions
The transition to digital microlearning supported the widespread adoption and adaptation of the training program across South Africa.
Increased Accessibility
The courses’ compatibility with modern browsers and mobile devices ensured a consistent learning experience across various platforms, making the training more accessible to a broader audience.
From course design and build to graphic upgrades and video production, we worked closely with VVOB to design course modules that were engaging, user-friendly, and accessible to educators in areas with poor connectivity.
“Working with the OES Learning Solutions team on this course was a great experience. The course is highly interactive and is greatly appreciated by early childhood teachers and practitioners in South Africa. For the VVOB team, the collaboration was a valuable learning experience, in a changing world where online and blended professional development becomes ever more important for educators.”
