Capacity building projects

Projects that report on capacity-building collaborations across Asia, Africa, the Middle East and South America.

In support of the United Nation’s  Sustainable Development Goal of inclusive and equitable access to quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all, the Centre for Online and Distance Education (CODE) works with partners from around the globe to help develop, promote and strengthen local capacities for creating, supporting and evaluating online and distance education provision and learning opportunities.

Partners are drawn from varied contexts but with one overarching common characteristic: learning and teaching at a distance is the only realistic option for overcoming local barriers to achieving such goals, including rapid population growth, geographical isolation, limited infrastructure, internal and external conflicts, social attitudes and budget limitations.

The projects in this section report on capacity-building collaborations across Asia, Africa, the Middle East and South America.

The kinds of challenges they address are:

  • Developing staff capability in teaching online and researching current issues in online learning and teaching in a mega university.
  • Enhancing staff capacity and capability for developing, delivering and supporting effective online teaching, learning and assessment in a conflict zone. 
  • Supporting the ongoing monitoring, evaluation and improvement planning of training for medical staff in child health care in developing countries.
  • Supporting the re-development of courses into a blended format within an accelerated timescale.
  • Supporting faculty in developing contextualized approaches to designing and enhancing on-line programmes for student success.
  • Developing critical skills in diplomacy for active serving diplomats as well as grounding students in the core theories of international relations using a blend of synchronous and asynchronous teaching to provide both wide-ranging intellectual skills, and direct practice-based experience for the analysis of solutions to many of today's global problems.
