This chapter presents three case studies of programs developed through collaboration between the Commonwealth of Learning (COL) and a professional organisation or institution to identify the key planning and implementation issues that need to be addressed to make the best use of the materials developed. The case studies are: a Commonwealth course for the training of legislative drafters; an effective writing course for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR); and cross-border postgraduate surgical training and education. The common themes to emerge from these case studies are: for each of the projects, the learning materials were designed and developed in close collaboration with the sponsoring organisation and to a high standard; the issue of student support was a key factor contributing to the success or otherwise of the projects; and the courses all have built-in cycles of improvement.
