Free learning resources are core to our social mission. We believe that the main barriers to starting education are access, lack of confidence and cost. This is why the Open University works to remove these barriers. We build on formats and platforms that are available offline and online. This improves our discoverability and access. We eliminate cost by planning the delivery of free learning through sound and sustainable business models. We improve learner esteem and confidence by helping them gain badges and statements of participation.
The Open University has a radical and pioneering approach to access. Matching a refusal to place qualifications barriers in front of our own students, we also have a commitment to release and promote free learning content for others, for the benefit of the wider community.
