Commonwealth Computer Navigator's Certificate (CCNC)
Coinciding with Software Freedom Day 2006 (16 September), Sir John Daniel, President and CEO of the Commonwealth of Learning (COL), announced plans to institute the Commonwealth Computer Navigator's Certificate (CCNC). This COL initiative will widen access to ICT skills training using free software and will be distributed as free content for anyone to use, modify and distribute.
The Navigator's certificate will equip many prospective learners on their voyage to become full participants in our knowledge society. It will be closely associated with the Virtual University for Small States of the Commonwealth, whose creation COL is facilitating on behalf of 24 small states. "Free content is a new miracle in education" said Sir John. "We must dispel the myth that developing societies can't participate equally in virtual methods of educational design and delivery. We can do this by creating more opportunities to acquire the prerequisite ICT skills, thereby throwing a wide bridge across the digital divide".
The content development for the course is in progress. Indian WE community is encouraged to activiely participate in the content development process to complete the CCNC course development in the current year itself.

Quality assurance of multimedia learning materials
To address quality concerns of multimedia learning materials, the Commonwealth Educational Media Centre for Asia (CEMCA) spearheaded an initiative to develop a framework for quality assurance in which is seconded by the Ministry of Higher Education, Malaysia. Over the past one year, two core groups, one each in India and Malaysia, comprising academics, practitioners and industry have been grappling with developing a framework. Periodically, through various stages of development, wider consultations have also been held in both countries. The draft framework is available through this link.
We are looking for feedback and inputs on the draft framework.
