Template:Multiple problems The Pan-Commonwealth Forum on Open Learning (PCF) is a recurring international conference organized by the Commonwealth of Learning (COL) in collaboration with host institutions across the Commonwealth.[1] This event is regarded as a key forum for open and distance learning experts [2]

Established in 1999, the forum aims to foster dialogue and collaboration among policymakers, educators, and practitioners to promote open and distance learning (ODL) as a means of advancing sustainable development and educational access. Held every two or three years, the PCF serves as a platform for sharing innovations, research, and best practices in education across Commonwealth nations.[3]
