Women and Leadership in ODL

"COL has seen women leaders in action, leading and transforming societies through formal and non-formal education. In this Transformative Age it is about diversity, inclusivity and respecting, protecting and fulfilling rights. It is not just a question of having women leaders to contribute to economic performance, but it is about women's rights to be leaders." Professor Asha S. Kanwar President & Chief Executive Officer Commonwealth of Learning (COL)

Welcome Women and leadership in odl workshop It is a pleasure to welcome you to the ‘Women and Leadership in ODL’ workshop in beautiful Penang, Malaysia. This is the second in the series of leadership training workshops being organized by the Commonwealth of Learning in collaboration with Wawasan Open University and I hope it will equip you with the knowledge and skills you need to be effective leaders. A World Bank report (2002) describes gender equality as “an issue of development effectiveness, not just a matter of political correctness or kindness to women.” It is indeed true that the link between women’s empowerment and sustainable develop-ment has been clearly established. Women represent more than 40 per cent of the global labour force, 43 per cent of the agricultural workforce and more than half of the world’s university students, yet we find fewer women at higher levels. From their earliest years, girls should be encouraged to adopt strong leadership roles and develop their confidence and personal abilities; they need to seek out opportu-nities to take on leadership responsibilities and to act as role models in the family, at school and in the wider community, helping others to unlock their potential. Many women in Commonwealth Member States continue to face great challenges of severe discrimination and violence. Education is one means of equipping women to deal with this ongoing struggle, one step at a time. Each and every woman who steps up to take a lead in these matters makes a difference and clears the way for those who follow. Thank you for your participation in this workshop, and for doing your part in clearing the way for future generations of women leaders. Warm regards, PROFESSOR ASHA S. KANWAR President & Chief Executive Officer, Commonwealth of Learning

We l com e t o PENANG the Pearl of Orient

On behalf of Wawasan Open University, I warmly welcome you to the 2nd Pan-Commonwealth Workshop of Women and Leadership in ODL. WOU is pleased to be in partnership with the Commonwealth of Learning in organizing the first workshop and now, the second one, again in Penang. We believe you will enjoy and benefit from the sessions by our selected group of facilitators and the interactive activities during the workshop. We expect you will have some good and memorable moments during the workshop. Our objective is to help you understand what it takes to be a leader in leading yourself, your team, and your projects in alignment with your values and that of the institution’s. Last but not least, let me share two quotes on leadership with you. The first is by Ivan Illich, “Leadership does not depend on being right,” and the second one by Matt Romney, “Leadership is about taking responsibility, not making excuses.” Thank you and enjoy! Warm regards,

PROF. DR ZORAINI WATI M ABAS

Acting Vice Chancellor Deputy Vice Chancellor, Academic and Educational Technology Wawasan Open University

Concept Note

Preamble

In 2018, the Commonwealth of Learning (COL), in collaboration with the Wawasan Open University (WOU), launched its first training programme on Women and Leadership in ODL, in Penang, Malaysia. COL undertook this initiative as part of its strategic contribution to gender mainstreaming and its commitment to gender equality which is Goal 5 of the Sustainable Development Goals1. More importantly, based on its many years of practice and experiences in advancing the rights to education through ICTs and ODL programmes, COL has seen women leaders in action, leading and transforming societies through formal and non-formal education. In this Transformative Age it is about diversity, inclusivity and respecting, protecting and fulfilling rights. It is not just a question of having women leaders to contribute to economic performance, but it is about women’s rights to be leaders. Plenty of evidence supports the view that women make good leaders and can bring new insights into leadership. Yet “women leadership” has been an unfinished agenda being deliberated regularly at various international fora; the Commission on the Status of Women, the Commonwealth Women Forum and the World Economic Forum are examples of global platforms where women’s progress is being reported. Sadly, all these reports of progress often end with a “but”; the narrowing of the gender gap, but fewer women in the labour force or political life, is an example. Women are still not there as leaders in the governments, public and private sectors. Globally, women make up 23 percent of national parliamentarians, 26 percent of news media leaders, 15 percent of corporate board leaders and 25 percent of senior managers2. Enabling women to become good leaders requires a deep appreciation of how gender- and status-related beliefs, ideas, behaviours, and practices are transmitted from one individual to another, from one community to another and from one generation to another in all cultures. It also demands the development of strategies to counter bias, stereotyping and discrimination. Women have valuable ideas, experiences and stories to share about leadership and change, and there is a great need for more opportunities and in some cases more encouragement, for these women to share their insights with wider audiences. To be leaders also means having to negotiate the terrain of the crossroads of personal, family responsibilities, the unpaid caring roles which in many countries are assumed to be women’s roles, and that of their professional roles. Leaders are those who have skills and knowledge which must be harnessed from varied sources such as from this workshop. However, creating opportunities for women to be in the leadership positions requires policy and institutional changes from those in power. Often for change to take place at the policy or institutional level, women need to advocate for change.

Women make good leaders and can bring new insights into leadership.

About the training programme

Based on the feedback from the participants in the first ‘Women and Leadership in ODL’ workshop the programme for the second workshop has been designed to focus on the conceptual and the practical, the education and the skills. In ODL, it is often the case that women are the leaders of change, and are using new methods, media and technologies to reach out to and serve individuals and communities. However, these women are likely to be operating in the low to middle levels of institutions and organizations, sometimes in part-time roles and without tenure. The fact that they are seriously under-represented and unrecognised at the more senior levels of decision-making spells out the need for serious interventions. This training programme is designed for mid-career women from Commonwealth institutions who are interested in assuming leadership in ODL and ICT-based fields and may need support to improve their knowledge and skills. True to COL’s commitment to gender mainstreaming, the programme will be framed with the gender equality perspective. Thus, the workshop aims at having conversations around transformational leadership. The programme is designed based on the premise that the participants have experience as leaders in their various positions and do aspire to move up to assume leadership positions in their careers. Together the participants will reflect on their experiences, strengths and weaknesses, and distil lessons learnt to be shared among themselves. Participants will differentiate between “transforming”, “being transformational” and “seeking transformation”. Together, the facilitators and the participants will “nail the jelly to the wall” and define what being transformational leaders means. There will be sessions on the use of data, big data and the importance of data collection, particularly sex-disaggregated data for gender analysis. Leaders are those who can negotiate and push for change. The participants will learn how to advocate and be aware of the seven steps of change. There will be a discussion session on Artificial Intelligence. In short, this training programme will serve as the launching pad for the participants to be motivated, to acquire new knowledge and sharpen skills as well as to craft a strategic plan for advancing women leadership at home institutions.

Principles

This workshop is developed based on the overall principle of gender equality and rights. Specifically, the principles are listed below: a) Participants aspire to be transformational leaders, but they have had experience as leaders in one way or another and are active agents of change; b) Participants too are a source of knowledge, skills and experiences; thus, the need for sharing and participatory process in the workshop. The process is as important as the outcome; and c) The personal is political

Expected Outcomes

By the end of this training programme, the participants will achieve the following outcomes: a) Gain clarity of their motivations, intentions and understanding of transformational leadership within the context of the gender equality framework;

b) Identify their strengths and weaknesses, barriers and challenges in terms of the requirements and demands of a transformational leader in ODL;

c) Use the latest ICT and Educational Technology in teaching and learning and online and blended learning methods;

d) Become advocate for change and champion gender mainstreaming to advance the women leadership agenda by preparing a strategic plan;

e) Become trainers and facilitators to train more women leaders in their institutions and communities.

Format

The focus of the training programme will be an intensive and interactive 3-full day workshop which will include short lectures by inspirational women leaders, group discussions and activities, mentoring sessions, participation in panel discussions by women leaders, project work and presentations. All the activities are designed to: (i) strengthen the participants ability to be mindful and to self-reflect; (ii) impart the knowledge, skills and confidence for career advancement, (iii) help build a network of role models and mentors who will provide ongoing guidance, and (iv) provide the encouragement and support women leaders need to realise their full potential, and (v) craft plans for change in the workplace.
