OU Learning Systems

Exploring and developing learning systems at the Open University. This is an informal account where we tweet about what we find interesting. Our views alone.

There have been some nice bits of work from the team to support some of the technical aspects of this new module. Always good to be supporting new initiatives.

Day 3 of #MootIEUK23. Excited to hear what Martin Dougiamas (@Moodler) is going to say in this morning's keynote. And then grabbing a coffee before the OU's own @tim_hunt shows us how to write better Behat tests.

Props to @sheilamcdonald and @LorraineHicke19 for a puntastic prez on supporting hairdressing apprenticeships. #MootIEUK23 Excellent way of getting the audience to concentrate #DidTheyJustSayBraiding

Day 2 of #MootIEUK23. Day 1 was great - looking forward to more Moodle fun and games.

Second OU prez of the day (not including the AI panel discussions) - Chris N talking new quiz features, but gets a quick plug in for the local concrete cows #MootIEUK23

Sam (@leafdigital) showing off the fancy new OU Open Science Lab design ... and slick new dynamic page updates (but based off standard features) Code snippets ftw #MootIEUK23

[OU Learning Systems @GoTeamOU]

Looking forward to 3 days of #MootIEUK23 . Later today Chris - Quiz, Sam (@leafdigital) - Open Science Lab. On Wed, Tim (@tim_hunt) writing better Behat tests.

This was just a small selection of what was being done. And the planned development of XR Studios will give even more options.

Thanks again to our colleagues for a great tour (and apologies for any science based mistakes I’ve made in the tweets - was a lot to take in!)

What does online learning look like? We were lucky enough to be invited by our friends at @OpenSTEMLabs to have a look at some of the great remote online learning they’re supporting.

And racks upon racks of small, but potentially complex, physical experiments that can be accessed remotely at flexible times that suit students.

If you're a creative person with an in-depth knowledge of digital and web design why not have a look at the User Experience Designer role that's available in our Online Student Experience team?

This is exciting as it's not often we advertise a Senior Product Development Manager role. But if you have the skills and enthusiasm, and want to work at the forefront of online learning in Higher Education in the UK, then we'd love to hear from you.

It’s been a while, but we’re back with a drop-in session where OU staff can chat to us about all things learning experience and technology.

This is a hybrid session with an online session available or you can catch us in the Hub on campus until 2pm.

“It’s always go, go, go.”

Chris sums up what it can feel like working on the Moodle based learning systems here at the UK’s largest university.
