We've built an awesome place for people to teach and learn online. It's social like Facebook, collaborative like Wikipedia and available to anyone in the world. We've designed OpenLearning to give power to students by enabling them to improve courses as they are run and to teachers who can finally teach the way they've always dreamed. OpenLearning builds upon the successes of social media, gamification, and peer communication to build strong course communities. The resulting immersion, engagement and enjoyment leads to deeper learning in students, increased retention, and more effective information sharing within organisations. Student interaction data is used to recommend ways to improve course quality, while OpenLearning's unique administration tools make it easy for non-technical people to create and manage stimulating courses.
