Hard-to-understand science and technology made easier

schematic diagram explaining JuxtaLearn
A project newly launched by the OU is looking at using creative activity to help science and technology students grasp complex concepts.

JuxtaLearn will encourage students to use creative activities, in particular video-making, to help them understand things they find difficult to grasp. 

The international project, funded by a €2.1 million grant from the EU, will apply to both university and school students. 

Juxtalearn was launched in Växjö, Sweden in October. Other institutions involved with developing Juxtalearn alongside The Open University are: Sweden’s Linnaeus University; the Rhein-Ruhr Institute, Germany; Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Spain;  Universidade do Minho, Catchermedia, Portugal; and The University of Birmingham.
