Biography

Read The OpenLearn team’s biography.

The Open University launched OpenLearn back in October 2006 thanks to a grant from The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. The shared vision was free online education, open to anyone, anywhere in the world. OpenLearn is the result and has since reached over 10 million people.
In the first two years, OpenLearn grew to include over 8000 study hours of learning materials from Open University courses. The website continues to grow with new course materials being published regularly.
In 2010 OpenLearn merged with open2.net, The Open University website that has supported OU/BBC broadcasts since 1999. OpenLearn now gives access to topical and interactive content, from expert blogs, to videos and games. Open University channels are also available on YouTube,  iTunesU and Twitter.
