Getting Started
In the LearningSpace you can try any of our OpenLearn Study Units which are
free courses from the Open University. Units are available from introductory
to postgraduate level and can be studied anytime, at your own pace.
While there is no tutor, each has clear learning outcomes, and many have
activities and sample answers to help you assess your progress.
You can not get any accreditation for studying them, but once you register
and enrol on an OpenLearn Study Unit you can access your activity record
which will provide proof of completing a unit.

What does level mean?
Much of the content on the OpenLearn website will be accessible to anyone
with a general interest in a subject. Each LearningSpace study unit is set
at a particular level to indicate the amount of previous educational
experience expected for you to be able to study the unit without too much
difficulty and within the stated hours of study. There are four levels -
introductory, intermediate, advanced and masters - indicated in the summary
description of each unit. Find unit descriptions in the topic areas linked
to from the LearningSpace homepage. If you are new to higher education we
recommend that you start with units at introductory level.
The levels are based on the assumption that you have an interest in the
subject of the unit, but not that you have any prior subject knowledge.
Another benchmark we used to assign level was reading/study abilities, which
we have broadly equated to your previous educational qualifications. You
will find below a guide to how these compare, and you may find this helpful
when selecting the right level for you to study. To take a full part in the
suggested activities and exercises and devote enough time to think through
what the unit is about, the previous educational qualifications normally
expected for each unit would broadly be as follows:
for introductory level units, previous educational qualifications would not
guarantee higher education entry
for intermediate level units, previous educational qualifications would
guarantee entry to higher education
for advanced level units, previous educational experience would include
study at higher education level.
for masters level units, previous educational experience would include study
at higher education level.
If you come from outside the UK it may be that your reading/study abilities
and the type of qualifications you have are not easily assessed along the
above lines. If so, our advice to you is to try a lower level unit first,
see how that fits with your expectations and confidence to work at that
level, and then select any further units accordingly.
How long does each LearningSpace unit take to complete?
Units vary in length between 1 and 50 hours the equivalent of an evenings
through to a weeks work. The unit description gives the amount of time that
we estimate that you should spend as a minimum to read the unit, take a full
part in the suggested activities and exercises, and devote enough time to
think through what it has to say. Find unit descriptions in the topic areas
linked to from the LearningSpace homepage. Depending on your circumstances
and level of prior study experience and knowledge, you could take longer
than the stated time.
Can I speak to a tutor?
OpenLearn does not provide you with a tutor. Instead you can connect with
other learners. Every study unit in the LearningSpace has a discussion forum
. Once logged in, you can use these forums to share your ideas, views and
questions with others. There is also a Help and support forum which is the
place to post queries and answers if you want help using the LearningSpace o |
