Commonwealth of Learning Gender Strategy 2025
No full textThe Commonwealth of Learning (COL) Gender Strategy 2025 has been developed to bridge the identified gap between intent and action in gender mainstreaming, both internally and in partnership work. It builds on COL’s 2021 Gender Policy and responds to recommendations from the 2024 mid-term evaluation (MTE) by providing a clear framework for advancing gender equality across all organisational dimensions during 2025–2027 and strengthening efforts to move COL towards a more integrated and systemic approach to gender mainstreaming. Given that there are only two years remaining in the current Strategic Plan, the 2025–2027 implementation will serve as a pilot to inform deeper integration of gender mainstreaming during the next strategic period

Creating Learning Materials for Open and Distance Learning: Introducing the Commonwealth of Learning Instructional Design Template
No full textCreating learning materials for open and distance learning: Introducing the Commonwealth of Learning instructional design template COL has developed a template for instructional design that helps content developers to convert their subject matter expertise into learning materials. It helps authors incorporate ODL instructional design techniques into their learning texts. Created in just over a year and tested in many countries and institutions with feedback from many instructional designers, this template is truly a collaborative effort. COL hopes that anyone who may feel discouraged from developing ODL learning materials will now feel empowered to begin to do so.

Social Return on Investment Analysis of Support from the Commonwealth of Learning for the Open and Innovative Schooling Model
Full text linkAs the Commonwealth of Learning (COL) was in the last year of its 2015–2021 strategic plan, COL sought to evaluate the impact of its interventions in open and innovative schooling (OIS) in the period 2018–2021 through an external review. An online quantitative study was carried out in Belize, Malawi, Mozambique, Trinidad and Tobago, and Zambia, followed by a contextual cost–benefit analysis, and a social return on investment (SROI) analysis. Overall, COL’s contribution to the OIS programme in terms of Phase 1 and Phase 2 activities is perceived to have significantly contributed to the success noted so far in the five countries under study. The SROI ratios for all countries were positive, indicating that the social returns on this intervention are desirable, justifying a case for continued support of such OIS initiatives
