2	00:00:01,000	00:00:02,000	John Horlock: So much for Open University students abroad,
3	00:00:03,000	00:00:08,000	but what about the influence, the concept of The Open University elsewhere?
4	00:00:10,000	00:00:14,000	I’m always amazed by the hundreds of visitors that we get at Milton Keynes…
5	00:00:15,000	00:00:20,000	..who come to see how the OU works, from overseas governments, overseas institutions,
6	00:00:21,000	00:00:27,000	and these visits usually result in much advice and expertise being passed on or shared.
7	00:00:28,000	00:00:34,000	In 1982 for example, we had about 1,500 such visitors to the University…
8	00:00:35,000	00:00:39,000	..and we have an International Office which coordinates these overseas contacts,
9	00:00:40,000	00:00:44,000	particularly those involving formal consultancies which we undertake,
10	00:00:45,000	00:00:48,000	and it works very closely with the British Council.
