Approach

10. A Calendar of courses/events to be published in November of each year indicating training
programmes and events that will be offered by the CXC Learning Institute in the upcoming calendar year.
Publishing the list of courses in November of the previous year will provide an opportunity for regional
stakeholders to include in their budget for subsequent year training programmes for teachers, administrators
and ministry technocrats on offer through the CXC Learning Institute.

Marketing

11. For the CXC Learning Institute to be successful, an aggressive marketing plan needs to be
developed to identify:

I. Potential markets and specific areas of needs for that market; and,

II. Wide scale information sharing to ensure stakeholders are aware of programmes being offered by
the CXC Learning Institute

12. The CXC Learning Institute will leverage the in-house expertise of its team to offer programmes
in areas for which the Council is known.

 Programme Design and Evaluation
 Development of syllabuses for academic and technical courses
 Development of skill-based programmes
 Training in syllabus and curriculum development procedures
 Development of learning support resource materials for teachers and students
 Design of a variety of assessment instruments
 Developing tests for various specifications
 Construction of rubrics
 Development of item bank
 Evaluation of students at different levels
 Reporting candidate achievement
 Training of persons in measurement and evaluation procedures

Delivery Modality

13. The proposed model for programme delivery will include a blend of face-to-face and online
modalities. A specialised Learning Management System (LMS) will be set up to deliver courses offered
online in the CXC Learning Institute.

Staffing

14. In the short term, the CXC Learning Institute will be managed by officers in CXC WZO. However,
in the long term, to maximise the revenue potential of the CXC Learning Institute, a dedicated set of staff,
led by an Instructional Designer, may be required to design the courses as well as manage the overall
undertaking of the CXC Learning Institute. The expertise of CXC staff will be drawn on from time to time
to participate on training programmes and events. However, there will be dedicated staff to manage the
