OU Vice-Chancellor supports campaign to get the nation online

For more than 40 years the OU has been transforming the lives of millions of people by using the technology of the day to help them to access high-quality education. And, says OU Vice-Chancellor Martin Bean, being online will increasingly aid people’s ability to access education and a wide variety of other services.

In this video message Martin explains how giving an hour of your time to help someone online can transform lives - and how he'll be introducing his young daughter to the importance of cyber safety, as part of a campaign to get the nation online by the end of 2012.
