Talk:OpenLearn

Update needed
OpenLearn has changed substantially since this article was last updated.

It continues to host the university’s repository of Open Educational Resources—thousands of hours of material released from OU courses and, increasingly, courses created for other platforms such as FutureLearn. This OCW content was previously published under the 'LearningSpace' name.

The site now also contains material to support TV and radio broadcasts. Viewers and listeners of co-productions betweem the OU and the BBC (and other broadcasters) are directed to OpenLearn as their entry point into The Open University. This could be for more information about the subjects covered, or to order one of the print items (posters, booklets etc.) which support broadcasts. This content was previously published on the open2.net website. Audio and video created for iTunes, YouTube and AudioBoo also gets collated and republished through OpenLearn.

Some smaller, more specific changes are required:


 * In terms of site technologies, the platform is now part Drupal, part Moodle
 * LabSpace is now a separate site, and will relaunch as 'Openlearn Works' in Spring 2014

Neutrality tag
It's not so much a neutrality problem as a "cut and paste" job from the organisation's own website problem. It reads like an uncritical essay on the benefits of open learning, not an article about OpenLearn. MarcGarver (talk) 09:57, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
