Award of Excellence for Institutional Achievement

COL presents up to two awards for institutional excellence. The awards recognise significant institutional achievements in the innovative and effective application of technology-enabled learning and open and distance learning methodologies, which reach students who may not have otherwise participated in the learning or training experience.

The 2020-2022 awards were presented at the Tenth Pan-Commonwealth Forum on Open Learning (PCF10) in Calgary, Canada on 14 September 2022.
