Still grappling with the change to blended learning?

Get it right with expert help



What is innovDev?

innovDev is an initiative developed as a multi-agency effort with Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) and SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) to support the aims of the Training and Adult Education (TAE) Industry Transformation Map (ITM) in driving nationwide digital transformation in the TAE industry. Supporting these aims, innovDev offers Training Providers and Enterprises with L&D Units:

  • Digitalization Support: provides 35 consultancy hours to enhance 2 existing courses into quality tech-enabled or blended courses through coaching from IAL appointed blended learning consultants.
  • Sustainable Capability Development: equips your staff with necessary capabilities to improve courses after innovDev.
  • Customized Consultancy Model: offers the flexibility to negotiate and decide on the scope of consultancy work based on your organization’s needs with IAL’s appointed blended learning consultants.




Why innovDev?

innovDev provides up-to 35 hours of subsidized consultancy to help TP&E in improving any elements found within 2 (two) of their existing courses. This support programme provides the flexibility for TP&E to scope which portion of their courses they wished to improve on. The flexibility of this initiative also extends to the type of courses that TP&E can submit. The courses can be either publicly-run courses or internal-facing courses, WSQ or non-WSQ courses, government-funded ones or otherwise.

innovDev is conceived to support training providers and curriculum developers in development of their training courses in both blended and online learning environment. Think of innovDev as a support initiative to offset the risk of experimentation or attempting potential improvement. innovDev Consultants would guide the TP&E in whittling down potential options while being aware of TP&E’s limitations.

Success Use Case

TeamworkBound, an organisational development and team performance training provider. Being a largely facilitation-based training provider, lots of the content is delivered via face-to-face engagement. At the start of pandemic disruptions, the performance of training was only kept up by the quality of in-house trainers despite being largely limited to delivering Zoom-only, didactic training. A hands-on, immersive training had been nerfed to half-a-body snapshots within small windows on a computer screen.

Mr. Ebnu, who is the Director of TeamworkBound and his staff Aphroz enrolled into innovDev to seek a way forward in improving his blended training as immersive and easy-to-deliver for in-house trainers and administrator. An innovDev Consultant was assigned to TeamworkBound to guide them in digitalizing part of their courses. Scenario-based storytelling portion of the training was initially delivered by their trainers through a webcam. The innovDev Consultant guided the trainers through a pedagogically-sound video platform with integrated knowledge-check assessment onto their online training system. Thus, it gives learners more selection of scenarios that resonates with their profile, and trainers more time to provide personalized feedback with learners based on their assessment.

Upon completion, the blended curriculum also provides additional modes of delivery and outreach to other markets beyond Singapore. The intervention includes building up the skillsets of TeamworkBound's staff, who managed training coordination to take on a critical backend supportive role, to edit and curate digital learning materials. This includes taking a proactive approach towards building and developing future digital contents amongst the suite of programs.

The videos as well as the quizzes was a good way for me to see the problems play out and for me to reflect and think about my personal characteristics respectively” mentioned one learner who benefitted from the transformed course. Another learner has given a feedback: “I enjoyed the course it was interactive and I did not feel bored or uninterested.” despite receiving a facilitation-based course delivered in mixed online and F2F channel.
