Fellowship Overview

LSNF seeks a full-time, 10-week legal technology Fellow to develop a new e-learning platform, that includes an interactive and web-based tools to encourage knowledge retention and engagement. Project partners will increase the number and depth of training events offered, encourage a deeper level of engagement by advocates, and, ultimately, improve the quality of representation and outcomes for clients. This streamlined approach will also reduce the time advocates spend refreshing "knowledge learned" at training events using improved retention tools, allowing for quicker responses to client needs and, at the same time, freeing up more time to provide assistance to more low-income and vulnerable people in our communities. Finally, through the training incubator, quality trainers will be given tools to be better trainers for adult learners, and a model to continue passing those tools to other advocates in perpetuity.

Fellows Duties

The fellow would assist LSNF and project partners in various stages of 1) evaluating e-learning platforms, best practices, and lessons learned from other projects, including supporting vendor selection; 2) organizing the database of existing technology training tools and the evaluation/report of the successes and quality of those tools; and 3) developing the protocols for the training incubator component. These duties would assist the four project partners by ensuring a complete review of existing training technology while bringing a new perspective and vision for the purchase and/or development of other technology tools to enhance and improve statewide training.
