The aim of C-DELTA was to develop participants’ digital literacy, knowledge of
digital education and ability to lead and implement digital education initiatives
in their various contexts. To achieve this, and its overall goal of assisting people
to become lifelong learners, the programme needed to be accessible and
applicable to a diverse group of participants across the Commonwealth. //
This report presents an evaluation of C-DELTA conducted in June and
July 2019 that included a desktop review, and a review of and reflection on
implementation programmes, participant platform data and experiences. The
evaluation foregrounds a number of positive outcomes, including (i) the
unique open licence (CC BY-SA) nature of the course, making it available
for anyone to join free of cost, (ii) dispersion of the course materials beyond
the source platform, (iii) implementation in seven countries through different
partners with different degrees of impact, (iv) case studies of success stories
from two countries, (v) measurable improvement in digital education skills
and (vi) a measure to index countries with different levels of digital education
skills. Recommendations include a range of suggestions for expansion, such
as establishing a C-DELTA community of practice, offering the course as a
MOOC, simplifying and translating assessment items and expanding interactive
elements through OER adaption.
