finding enrolled courses

Sandra Robinson

Hi, I have to agree, this is a very confusing site - I think it's trying to put to much onto the screen at the same time, I wish it was easier to use.
My particular problem (this time) is trying to find the courses I've enrolled on/already completed. I've looked in MyOpenLearn & can only find 3 (in a small column bottom right). I know I've completed at least 2 that aren't showing (it would nice to have a record of those I have completed) and have signed up for about 5 more. Where are these?
Thanks
Sandra

I'm having such a hard time with the Openlearn site! I can't find the courses I've enrolled on at all, and I have to sign in 5-6 times before it'll recognise that I'm signed in. I've tried clearing all my browsing data, cookies etc on my browser (Google Chrome) but it's still not working properly. I've enrolled to two of the courses here and wanted to come back to the course I was on, as well as see my progress, but there's physically nowhere for me to see this, I can't see any My OpenLearn anywhere :( Please help!

Hi Jessica, Many apologies

Hi Jessica,
Many apologies for the problems you are having with the site.
There is a delay in signing in and the system recognising your sign in details, you may have to click around on some of the Explore pages before you are recognized (I usually have to go to several different pages before I can access 'My OpenLearn') - http://www.open.edu/openlearn/about-openlearn/explore
Please don't try to re-register as unless you use a different e-mail address the registration process won't complete.
Please be assured the team are trying to fix the problem as soon as possible.
Many thanks and again apologies.

I've heard that OpenLearn has a chat facility to talk to other students? Where is this function? Or is it "comments" Also I have heard that some courses sometimes use videoconferencing

Is this true?

Hi Cara
Over the last few months the OpenLearn has undergone a redesign, and now incorporates LearningSpace, which was where you would previously find free learning materials, mostly taken from Open University courses. As a result, some of the tools and features have changed, you'll find an explanation of what's available here - http://www.open.edu/openlearn/about-openlearn/frequently-asked-questions...

As you mention, there is a 'Comments' facility at the bottom of each page, and this is where you can join in, comment and share your views.

best wishes, OpenLearn Moderator
