Commonwealth of Learning Stakeholder Survey 2010

Abstract

The Stakeholder Survey is an inexpensive rapid assessment of views and experiences of COL among a range of stakeholders: partners and staff. It was conducted mostly among participants – 42 in all – at the 6th Pan-Commonwealth Forum on Open Learning (PCF6) held in Kochi, Kerala, India in November 2010. The survey instruments were facilitated group discussions (FGDs) and one-to-one interviews, supplemented with short self-complete questionnaires. Most of the participants in the survey are actively engaged with the Commonwealth of Learning (COL) or have reason to expect to in the future. It is likely that the results are more appreciative than for a survey conducted in a strictly randomised and anonymous manner among a wider group of COL contacts
