Description
Welcome to the Open University! The UK’s largest distance learning university. With a hundred and seventy four thousand students, you are part of a huge community. In this session we think about ...what belonging to that community means, and how, with the rapid advances in technology, being a student looks very different than it did 20 years ago. The Vice Chancellor, Lead Architect and Director of Library Services explain how they work to ensure that distance learning is an important part of the political, social and digital landscape both now and in the future.
