Abstract
PCF5: Cross-Cutting Theme // At PCF-4 2006 in Jamaica, the Commonwealth of Learning (COL) launched an electronic template
designed for the development of distance education instructional material. In this paper I discuss the
experiences of working with the COL electronic template. These discussions mainly revolve around how
the writers, who are often novices with the use of computers and writing of distance education
instructional material, cope with the two tasks, and in the process develop professionally. This paper will
outline the changes made within the template to suit the Centre for Open and Lifelong Learning (COLL)
House Style Manual and how it has helped to improve the quality of instructional material. I will also
discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using the template within the Centre for Open and Lifelong
Learning with the hope that such information can be transferred as lessons learned to other open and
distance learning institutions thinking about using such a tool. // Paper ID 439
