The Open University UK launched a new OUView YouTube site this week. Two sets of videos are linked from the main site at www.youtube.com/ou.
Learning materials are at: www.youtube.com/oulearn. Community stuff is at: www.youtube.com/oulife (watch this space a bit more here as the idea of launching a community space is that our community get involved, but you do get some vblogs from OU folks talking about what they’ve learnt in YouTube and some Big Brother style student vblogs from the Graduation video booth.)
So, why YouTube?
Well it’s a good place to start – according to Nielsen NetRatings, YouTube is the 6th largest internet destination. So reaching more people and opening up access to education should be within our grasp.
