New Web Resource: OpenLearn goes live: The Open University has gone live with a free open content website in a bid to attract hard-to-reach groups
The OpenLearn website, launched on 25 October 2006, is designed to make some educational material available on the internet in an attempt to tackle educational disadvantages in the developed and developing world. An OpenLearn spokesperson told GC News on 25 October 2006: “The service is 100% free. It will hold units of our courses online or to download so that people can use the content how they wish. The website currently holds 900 study hours but this will be increased over the next six months. “The website will never hold all of our courses, otherwise we would not make any money.” Subject areas available on the website include arts, history, science and nature at all study levels from access to postgraduate.
