Handbook for the Commonwealth of Learning Review and Improvement Model (COL RIM)

Abstract

The COL RIM is for the use of management teams in post-secondary institutions. It specifically targets higher education decision makers at the institutional level. Any post-secondary education and training institution in the Commonwealth can implement the COL RIM. Participation is entirely voluntary, and there are no high-stakes consequences. Any outcomes of the review process are owned by the institution, and it is up to the institution to share information with its stakeholders. The model is suitable for institutions of all types and sizes. Originally published, 2010; first revision, 2014
