Course

DIY Learn is a set of online modules to help development practitioners understand and embed practical tools to support social innovation in their work.

The DIY Learn forum provides an online space for you to talk to other people with an interest in embedding innovation in their work. As a DIY Learner you are part of a community that is spread across the globe with an incredible variety of backgrounds and experience. You can use the forum to share and learn about this experience, seek and provide help and support and to build friendships and working partnerships. You can also connect with others via DIY Toolkit Facebook page.

To get the most out of DIY Learn, including access to the forum, and to gain your digital badge(s) you will need to create a free Open University account and then enrol on each of the modules you want to study. You can create your new account, follow the instructions and once you have finished registration simply close the browser window or tab. Refresh THIS page to update your status so you can enrol. The enrolment button is in the top right-hand corner of each module.

The DIY Learn Modules have been created as online Open Educational Resources (OER) published under a Creative Commons licence. This means they are free to download, adapt and use within the terms of and conditions of the licence.  

The Open University has partnered with Nesta and The Rockefeller Foundation to create DIY Learn.
