The Open University has launched a YouTube ™ Channel with over 300 videos to extend its commitment to broadening access to education. YouTube is the leading online video community that allows people to discover, watch and share originally created videos. OUView – at http://www.youtube.com/ou - is now live. Video taken from Open University courses is available on the OULearn Channel and features household names such as broadcaster Sir David Attenborough and inventor James Dyson. Videos cover subjects from arts and history to science and nature, in bite-sized chunks of two to three minutes each. OULife is a channel for The Open University’s staff and students to upload their own videos – from graduation ceremonies to video blogs. The launch includes a series of video blogs where Open University staff and students talk about what they’ve learnt from YouTube.
