#COL4D has partnered with Aid for the Development of People for People @adppmozambiqu to train women and girls in marginalised communities in skills and facilitate opportunities for livelihoods. With funding from Canada’s International Development – Global Affairs Canada @GAC_Corporate, COL initiated a three-year EWG project with the aim of improving the realisation of human rights for women and girls from disadvantaged communities in selected areas of five Commonwealth member states, including #Mozambique.

AI-powered adaptation of OER in math education.
The Commonwealth Educational Media Centre for Asia (CEMCA) @COL_CEMCA, the Commonwealth of Learning's (COL) @COL4D regional centre in Asia, hosted a Bootcamp on Open Educational Resources (OER) in mathematics education in February 2025 at the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) @ncert campus in New Delhi, India. The bootcamp, organised in partnership with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and NCERT, brought together 80 Grade 9 mathematics teachers—50 in person and 30 online—from across the country.
As part of COL’s Teacher-in-the-Loop AI (TiL-AI) project, the event provided a platform for educators to explore AI-driven approaches to developing curriculum-aligned OER. Rather than an AI training session, the bootcamp focused on empowering teachers to collaboratively design engaging, high-quality educational resources using AI tools. Participants identified challenging concepts in the standard mathematics curriculum, explored effective pedagogical strategies, and examined how AI can support inclusive and adaptive learning materials. The initiative also aimed at strengthening a community of mathematics educators who can encourage student participation, particularly among girls, in STEM fields.
Speaking at the event, Dr B. Shadrach, Director of COL-CEMCA, highlighted the teacher-centric approach of the initiative, stating, “The role of teachers is central as the resources created will benefit educators globally. By integrating AI into OER development, we are not replacing teachers but rather providing them with innovative tools to enhance learning outcomes.”
COL’s TiL-AI project is designed to support educators in creating and adapting high-quality OER using AI-powered tools while ensuring peer oversight and alignment with national curriculum standards. The initiative leverages Generative AI and collaborative review mechanisms to enable teachers to develop customised lesson plans, quizzes, and instructional materials that cater to diverse learning needs.
To build on this momentum, CEMCA will soon launch the MathOER Teacher Challenge in India, where educators will use AI-powered solutions to collaboratively create and share innovative OER for complex mathematical concepts.
