On course for the future
Article Abstract:
The Open University's Living With Technology course, which was set up in 1996 to connect 4,500 students across the UK and abroad, is now one of the university's largest-population courses. It has provided a valuable insight into the nature of electronic teaching and communication. The course provides students with computing skills, but is also an introduction to the scientific, mathematical and engineering principles on which the successful use of many technology systems is based.

Preparing for the ton-up gang
Article Abstract:
The Open University believes that it has a role to play in raising public awareness of ageism in the UK. Its course 'An Ageing Population,' run in the late 1970s, was widely seen as the first significant course on ageing. Its current gerontology course, 'An Ageing Society,' raises awareness of issues relating to aging. The Open University's School of Health and Social Welfare has also recently created the Centre for Ageing and Biographical Studies. This aims to encourage an analysis of the whole lives of older people.
