We've had lots of requests from learners wanting to be recognised for their efforts on OpenLearn, so we've developed a “Statement of Activity". This is a printable report that shows what you have viewed on the site. It’s accessed from your myLearningSpace
and will give you (and your boss/mentor/ friends and family!) evidence of the time you have spent studying OpenLearn materials.
OpenLearn has seen over 2 million people take advantage of free education since we launched in October 2006. It's your involvement and feedback that keeps the website alive - so please forward this newsletter to a friend to spread the word.
Spotlight on... editing OpenLearn study units
Want to make your own mark on OpenLearn? There is a new simple editing interface which allows you to edit any of the Open University study units in the LabSpace. You might want to translate the study unit, add new case studies, or even rewrite the unit using your own learning materials. Everything you publish will be shared under a Creative Commons licence with the rest of the world.
If you want to make a change to a study unit on the LabSpace all you have to do is:
1. Enter the study unit of your choice.
2. Make a copy of the unit for revising.
3. Turn editing on.
4. Get going in an easy editing interface (or switch to HTML view if you prefer to code).
See the QuickStart guide to find out more about editing study units.
* Don't forget, registered users will need to be logged in to access their personal myLearningSpace and use our free learning tools. Non-registered users will need to register. Registration is completely free and makes no future requirements of you. You can find out more information on the Getting Started page.
