COL Quality Assurance Workshop Report

Date
2008Abstract
This document is a report of the Commonwealth of Learning workshop that was run
by the South African Institute for Distance Education ((SAIDE) for Open Schools
within Commonwealth countries. The workshop took place at Kopanong Hotel in
East Rand, Johannesburg from 8 ‐ 12th September 2008 and it focused on quality
assurance in open schools. The rationale of the week‐long workshop was two‐fold: (i)
to promote understanding of the salient quality assurance issues and concepts
amongst the workshop participants and (ii) to provide delegates an opportunity to
participate in the initial stages of the development of a quality assurance toolkit that
is relevant and adaptable to open schools in different contexts within
Commonwealth countries. Such a participatory approach was deemed to be
important as it would not only enrich the toolkit through sharing of ideas on open
schooling and quality assurance, it would also enhance ownership of the end
product by the participants who are the end users of the toolkit.
