Open Educational Resources at The Open University | Open University

From www.open.ac.uk - April 25, 2019 6:21 PM

We specialise in delivering effective learning experiences for adults which fit around their lives, whether it’s a busy mum in London working toward her degree, or a primary school teacher in a remote area in Kenya, improving her classroom practice. Over 70% of our students remain at work while studying.
We use appropriate technology to break down barriers – for those with disabilities, isolated or economically challenged.
We are open – we aim to remove all barriers to education and set no entry qualifications.
We use a mixture of business models (free, fee, and donor support) to provide scalable and sustainable solutions.
We deliver quality learning experiences on scale to over 170,000 students. Of the UK learners, 61,000 are eligible for financial support and 44% start undergraduate study without the entry qualifications they would need at a conventional university.

Who are the Open Learners? A Comparative Study Profiling non-Formal Users of Open Educational Resources |European Journal of Open, Distance ...

From www.eurodl.org - December 27, 2015 1:37 PM

With all the fuss about MOOCs over the last few years efforts like iTunes University have been lost in the shuffle. The closed platform didn't exactly make iTunesU feel 'open', but it was and is widely popular. And for today's analysis, the difference in usage patterns is revealing. Viewers skew younger, less educated, and less formal. And they reflect some trends also found in other open education resource (OER) efforts. For example: while many factors influence selection, licensing and attractive presentation aren't high on the list. Also, a significant number of people feel their needs are being met without the need for formal learning. And online assessment doesn't appear to be a major motivating factor.
