    Becoming a Climate Champion: A Climate Emergency Course for Young People
    (2023-06) Dikinya, Jane; Maseko, Simon; Dlamini, Ntombenhle; Gama, Bhekithemba V; Karipi, Edwig; Mzura-Chima, David; Kalaya, Victoria; Nasreen, Mahabuba; Suryapani, Sanghmitra; Subagan-Mondez, Janet; Johnston, Julie; Naidu, Som; Mays, Tony; Hoffman, Lariza
    "Becoming a Climate Champion: A Climate Emergency Course for Young People" has been produced by the Commonwealth of Learning in collaboration with several of its open schooling partners. The curriculum at the schooling level is slow to change, but as students will learn, climate change is a very real and very important challenge – perhaps the MOST important challenge. As an open scholar and a young adult, targeted students have a vested interest in seeking to understand and mitigate the impact of climate change, since it affects their present and also their future. As open scholars, they also get to choose what they want to learn, when they want to learn and how they want to learn. They can work through the course content alone or with others with whom they can share ideas. They can work entirely offline or entirely online or in blended mode if their local open school provides such an option.

    Literacy and Numeracy for Basic Trades
    (2015-08)
    In response to requests from the small island states of the Pacific region, COL, working in partnership with the Pacific Association of Technical, Vocational Education and Training (PATVET) produced a series of courses titled Basic Trade for Small Island Nations. This series provided the resources to teach people in remote communities the basic trade skills for working with timber, concrete and small engines. The series can be found on this link. In order to assist with literacy development to aid in the full utilisation of these resources, COL, working with the Oloamanu Centre of the National University of Samoa and with the support of PATVET, developed a course on basic vocational literacy and numeracy for basic trades. Educators from six Pacific Island nations were involved in the course writing. The course consists of the following five modules: 1. Building vocabulary // 2. Listening and speaking // 3. Reading and understanding // 5. Numeracy // Each module contains a student workbook and a tutor guide. A guide for managers is also made available, along with audio content to support learning. The audio content was produced by the Communications Team at the National University of Samoa.
