Free online courses that anyone can sign up to. You commit as much time and
effort as you like.
Numbers speaker for themselves.
Funding model?
Pedagogy?
FutureLearn
‘Futurelearn will bring together a range of free, open, online courses from leading
UK universities, in the same place and under the same brand.’
Led by OU, but involves 12 18 leading UK HEI’s- launch later 2013.
Can it compete with www.coursera.org & www.edx.org?
11
Recent Developments
Free approach to aims and objectives-
Allowed rich mix of different project types and methods used.
Collaboration at international level-
Building of sustainable networks- leading to continuing activity and work
iTunesU lifecycle mapped-
All aspects of initiation, use and develop through to what can happen when key
people leave covered by case studies.
Online dissemination not as good as face to face-
Social good at mass market but return is better through contacts. F2F meetings are
still the best way of building relationships. Once they have been started online
works well.
12
Conclusions
Foster awareness
Develop ICT, searching skills and platforms
Ensure projects are sustainable (without funding)
Tap in to existing agendas (sustainable
development/ ecological issues)
Allow for OER translation

Can it compete with www.coursera.org & www.edx.org? 11 Recent Developments
  • 12. Free approach to aims and objectives- Allowed rich mix of different project types and methods used. Collaboration at international level- Building of sustainable networks- leading to continuing activity and work iTunesU lifecycle mapped- All aspects of initiation, use and develop through to what can happen when key people leave covered by case studies. Online dissemination not as good as face to face- Social good at mass market but return is better through contacts. F2F meetings are still the best way of building relationships. Once they have been started online works well. 12 Conclusions
  • 13. Foster awareness Develop ICT, searching skills and platforms Ensure projects are sustainable (without funding) Tap in to existing agendas (sustainable development/ ecological issues) Allow for OER translation Lobby for OER for all public funded bodies 13 Recommendations
