The vendor is required to provide educator professional learning and resource management platform to design, develop, host, and support a new, comprehensive integrated digital platform.
- This platform will serve as the statewide solution for managing educator professional learning (PL), micro credentials (MC), and a repository for recommended instructional material reviews (RIMS).
- Requirement:
1. Professional learning (PL) management system
• Searchable catalog: a public-facing, searchable, and sortable portfolio of all current, past, and upcoming PL offerings, including detailed descriptions for each.
• Administrator controls: a backend for authorized administrators to create, advertise, and manage PL session listings and add new course offerings.
• Enrollment management:
o Support for self-enrollment by individual users.
o Support for single and bulk enrollments by administrators or registrars.
o A third-party "registrar" role must be able to bulk-enroll individuals.
o Administrators must be able to enroll and disenroll individuals or groups.
• User accounts: individual users must have a personal account to log in, view courses they are enrolled in, track completed courses and access a personal transcript of all earned credits.
• Credit awarding: a flexible system allowing administrators to define and award various types of credit (e.g., license points, hours) upon completion.
• Course approval workflow: the platform must include a formal approval workflow.
• Communication: a tool for course administrators to message the entire roster of an enrolled course.
• Payment processing (ideal): the ability to integrate a payment system for courses that require a registration fee.
2. Micro credential (MC) platform
• Searchable catalog: a user-friendly catalog of all available micro credential options, with robust search and sort capabilities (e.g., search by topic, pathway, and endorsement)
• Administrator controls: a system for administrators to create, post, and manage all micro credential listings.
• User workflow:
o An educator can select an MC, enroll in it, and submit required evidence (e.g., upload files, links) directly within the system.
o Users must be able to track the status of their submissions, feedback, and earned MCs in their personal account.
• Reviewer workflow:
o A backend system where administrators and reviewers can access and review submitted evidence, provide feedback to the educator, and formally award the micro credential credit if mastery is demonstrated.
o Reviewers must be able to track the status of previous submissions and feedback.
• Micro-credential Tran-scripting: upon successful review and completion of a micro-credential, the achievement and its associated credit must be recorded on the user's single, unified transcript, ensuring all earned credits from both professional learning and micro-credentials are visible in one consolidated record.
• Payment processing: the ability for users to pay any fees associated with a MC submission.
3. Instructional materials review (RIMS) repository
• Reviewer workflow:
o An administrative backend to assign submitted materials and a corresponding digital rubric to a designated reviewer.
o A tool for the reviewer to access the assigned materials and score them using an attached rubric.
• Searchable repository: a public-facing, searchable repository where end-users (e.g., educators, administrators) can find vetted materials.
• Transparency: when a user views a resource, they must also be able to see its completed review rubric and score.
• System reports: the administrator should be able to pull a report of existing resources sorted by given criteria (e.g., number of science materials).
• Review cycles: ability to designate review cycles to categorize material submissions by review year and subject area.
• Publisher submissions: ability for publisher representatives to have accounts and submit various materials for review in various review cycles.
- Budget: $1,100,000.00
- Contract Period/Term: 5 years
