Academics, researchers, technology innovators, development practitioners, administrators, COL stakeholders and partner institutions are invited to submit proposals for the Tenth Pan-Commonwealth Forum on Open Learning (PCF10), and the deadline has been extended to 15 February 2022 to accommodate everyone.
PCF10 will be held from 14 to 16 September 2022 in partnership with Athabasca University (AU) in Calgary. The theme is “Innovations for Educational Resilience.” The Forum will address issues and challenges in formal, non-formal and informal learning, reflecting a spectrum of ideas — from policy interventions to practical innovations — for building resilience and supporting the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 4. Presentations will be grouped around four sub-themes: Building resilience; Fostering lifelong learning; Inspiring innovations; Promoting equity and inclusion.
There will be a special focus in each of the sub-themes on (i) educating girls and (ii) using emerging technologies for education and training (e.g., applications of artificial intelligence, augmented reality, virtual reality, and robotics).
