The Centre for Open Learning of Mathematics, Science, Computing and Technology is helping excellent teachers to develop effective and engaging open learning in mathematics science, computing and technology
The challenges are many. The home based student must be provided with rich and motivating experiences in subjects that are about the wonders of the natural world and technology. They must be helped to work together in spite of geographical separation. They must be supported in learning how to use complex tools and techniques.
The Centre will harness academic creativity and new learning technologies in generating new responses to these long-standing challenges.
Open CETL
COLMSCT is part of the Open CETL, a collaboration of the four centres based at the Open University. It is not a formal organisation but a way of describing how we are working together to inspire each other, to achieve greater impact and increase efficiency.

COLMSCT publication 'learning landscapes' now available
In the pages of learning landscapes you can read how online decision-making is improving nurses’ treatment of their patients; how disabled students are being enabled to take part in geology field trips; how prisoners are being given the opportunity to turn their lives around through access to higher education; and how students of all types can simply talk to each other and their tutor and enjoy learning together. We’ve tried to give a flavour of the achievements of COLMSCT so far; we've also tried to show how we work with many partners across The University to achieve our goals.
