certificates

Charlene Mallard

hello there i am new to openlearn and am still finding my feet. When you complete a course on openlearn can you recieve any type of certificate of completion?

Hi Charene, Unfortunately,

Openlearn Moderator

Hi Charene,
Unfortunately, LearningSpace units aren't accredited, you can however run off a 'Statement of Activity'.

If you sign into LearningSpace and go to 'My learningspace', choose the unit you want to report on, click on 'My activity record' go to the bottom of the page and you will be able to either view (and then print) or download the activity statement.

Hope you enjoy the units Charlene.

Many thanks

learning journal

Tracy Peel

have left two messages (this is the third) about problems with learning journal yesterday and now today, but the previous two have once again vanished. I'm afraid I have lost patience for the moment.

Hi Tracy, I spoke with out

Openlearn Moderator

Hi Tracy,
I spoke with out technical team this morning and they have agreed that there is a problem with the Learning Journals. They will be looking at this week and hopefully have the problem corrected by next week, unfortunately they cannot look at them any earlier. I will write and advise you when the problem has been resolved.
In the meantime please accept my apologies for the journals not working.
Many thanks

Certificate?

Helen Edmunds

Do we receive a certificate for completing the courses on Learningspace or is there some way of printing off a cerificate

Hi Helen, Unfortunately

Openlearn Moderator

Hi Helen,

Unfortunately LearningSpace units are not accredited.

The easiest way for you to see your study is to bring up the unit you have been studying and on the left hand side of the screen you will find 'my activity record', click on this and it will give you a record of study for that unit (you can also download a Statement of Activity from here).

Hope this helps, many thanks.
