Light Touch Support
If your learners have the IT skills and access required, as well as confidence to work independently online this means that the level of support you need to provide can be very light touch. All OpenLearn courses are written by OU Academics who are experts in online teaching and all the materials and activities are included within the course content. If a course offers a Statement of Participation or Digital Badge then as long as relevant activities are completed these are awarded to your learner direct from OpenLearn.
