COL is proud to support inclusive open learning through its continued partnership with the Asian Association of Open Universities (AAOU).
Through a dedicated fellowship, COL supported 10 educators from across the Commonwealth to attend the 38th AAOU Conference in Beijing last year. Fellows presented research, connected with peers, and explored key topics such as AI in education, digital pedagogy, and quality assurance.
Beyond the conference, participants forged new research collaborations and institutional partnerships, strengthening the global open learning community. We look forward to building on our work with AAOU as it transitions its Secretariat to the Open University of China.
