Learning Design at The Open University\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Open University (OU) has an established methodology for Learning Design that focuses on putting the student experience at the core of our designs. This has been carefully developed through research, practice and evaluation since an initial JISC-funded project which ran from 2009-2012. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

OU Learning Design has since developed into a full end-to-end design and evaluation process with supporting resources, tools and techniques to ensure that all of our curriculum maintains this tight focus on student experience. When working externally we are able to deliver bespoke support based on our expertise and experience gained over the past decade and a half of delivering Learning Design services internally.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What do we offer externally?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We have six core offerings and we can also deliver bespoke sessions based on your needs. All offerings will be provided by a fully trained OU Learning Designer. Below is a summary of the workshops, <\/span>which are described in more depth in our brochure<\/span><\/a> (the link will download the brochure to your device<\/strong>).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
