Learning for free on the internet - Rob Humphreys, Western Mail
The Open University holds a particular place in British and higher education history by virtue of its special mission – to be open to people, places, methods and ideas. Open, in particular, to people who do not have the traditional entry qualifications to university. The OU does not have a monopoly in Welsh higher education in being accessible to “non-traditional” students (itself a rather anachronistic term, I would contend). But it is unique in having courses and curricula which are designed exclusively around part- time patterns of study, and, of course, offering maximum flexibility, via distance learning. Recently almost half-a-million learners worldwide have experienced free learning materials from the OU, via the new OpenLearn website.
