GIZ projects can use atingi to develop and host freely accessible e-learning courses. If you want to learn more about atingi in general, or the partner journey with atingi you can already watch our videos on YouTube.
To start your partner journey with atingi, please write an email to help@atingi.org and we will send you our atingi partner questionnaire. The results from the questionnaire help us to get a first idea of your e-learning project and advise you in the best possible way on how to reach your goals. After having received the questionnaire, your personal atingi account manager will get in touch with you to introduce atingi to you and talk about our service packages and next steps.
If you decide to go ahead with atingi, and have selected a service package (we are happy to provide consultation regarding the service packages), you are asked to fill out two (short) forms in which you scope out the details of your e-learning project (such as people involved, timeline, and other specifications) and the guidelines and recommendations for each course you would like to develop (you will provide details for each course and acknowledge you are aware of best practices). Once this has been received by your atingi account manager, you will get access to your own ‘category’ on atingi, where you can create new courses and add content. At the beginning of your implementation phase, we also offer a technical onboarding to walk you through the most important steps and settings when developing a course on atingi.
With the category access, you can start developing your courses. We recommend to contact the FMB Competence Center Digital Societies via competence-development@giz.de for a first consultation session. The FMB also has a framework agreement which includes the development of course content for GIZ projects.
At the beginning of your partner journey, your atingi account manager also shares our Quality Assurance criteria with you. This document can serve as a general orientation during the course development. Only ten days before your scheduled course launch on atingi, the QA checklist should be filled out based on the completed course and then sent back to the account manager. Your atingi account manager will then go through your course based on the list as well and provide feedback. In the Quality Assurance meeting seven days before launch, open questions and necessary changes can be discussed. The final adjustments can be made in the seven days of buffer before the launch. Once you think the course meets all criteria, please contact your atingi account manager again so that a last check can be conducted.
If all quality criteria are met, the course can go live on atingi. With learners enrolled, you can then also see different reports about activity completion, course completion and learner statistics directly on atingi. Additionally, we can share insights on (anonymous) user data like gender, region of residence or employment status of your learners with you. Depending on the service package you booked, you receive different automatic reports to cover your M&E needs.
Whenever your training on atingi or your overall project is ending, and you want to handover your course(s) to another project/organisation or directly to atingi, or the partnership with atingi is not continued for any other reason, we schedule a sunsetting meeting to review the partnership, give feedback and talk about possible next steps (such as handover or making content available as Open Educational Resources). If your courses are part of atingi’s public library and your project has paid until project end, the course(s) can remain available on atingi for up to two more years.
Please note that all courses on atingi should be free of charge and targeted at learners age 16+ who reside in Latin America, MENA, Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia or Eastern Europe. If you are a GIZ project and want to train GIZ-employees only, please get in contact with AIZ. Additionally, atingi does not provide funding, didactical or content advice, ToR guidance, or service provider recommendations.
