Eleventh Pan-Commonwealth Forum on Open Learning (PCF11)

The Commonwealth of Learning (COL), in partnership with the Ministry of Education and Skills Development and its implementing agency, Botswana Open University, will host the Eleventh Pan-Commonwealth Forum on Open Learning (PCF11) from 10 to 12 September 2025 at the Gaborone International Convention Centre (GICC) at The Grand Palm Resort. 

The Forum takes place every three years and is considered one of the world’s leading international conferences on open and distance learning (ODL). The focus of the Forum is to provide an opportunity for the open, online and flexible learning community to meet, share knowledge and experiences, identify important trends and explore applications of open and distance learning in widening access, bridging the digital divide and advancing the social and economic development of communities and countries. The event is significant for practitioners and researchers from developing countries. 

To ensure PCF11 is accessible to as many delegates as possible, this will be a hybrid event. This conference will continue to provide the rich in-person experience that delegates have come to expect while also allowing virtual attendees to access a mix of live, on-demand, and interactive content.  

Further details about in-person and virtual options, as well as delegate registration information, will be posted later.
