British Association of Open Learning Visit

British Association of Open Learning Visit

The British Association of Open Learning held their annual general meeting at the Open University today and in concert with this arranged a day conference for their members here. Around 50 BAOL delegates attended OL sessions including those by: Mary Thorpe on the versioning of course materials; David Grugeon on the Open University’s present and future; Jim Flood on the corporate university perspective and how Corous is opening up new markets.

The BAOL visitors were from a range of diverse organizations: from Consignia to the Inland Revinue; and from Pergamon Flexible Learning to Knowledge Pool.

Here in KMi they heard from Peter Scott about the difference that technology makes in education. Peter demonstrated examples of technology making a difference in higher education, school level education and even in healthcare and mainstream business contexts where work and learning are the same thing!
