The Bulletin, for short, is a regular newsletter of curated open learning and development news from across the Commonwealth and around the globe.

Knowledge mobility — the ability to share ideas, models, research, and innovation across borders is one of the Commonwealth’s greatest strengths. We look forward to sharing news that inspires new partnerships, initiatives, and progress throughout the Commonwealth.
