NZR’s Training and Education Team is implementing a new learning management system (LMS) to create, deliver and manage learning experiences for community rugby audiences. To ensure this project delivers on our purpose of ‘best experiences’ we need your help.
We are looking for a group of system users from provincial unions representing educators, administrators and learners to test LMS functions and be the PU voice on design decisions.
The priority learning experiences released in phase 1 will be Rugby Smart. While preference will go to applicants with experience delivering this programme, we also need the input of users across the system. The LMS will ultimately be the platform for learning experiences across all learner audiences, so applicants from a range of experience and knowledge is welcome.
This is a voluntary working group with a short runway. If you are keen to be involved and to have an early peek at what is coming, please complete the expression of interest here by 23rd July
