<nostalgia wave> My first authored units for the @OpenUniversity (Knowledge Management 1999). VHS, audio cassettes and CDROMs... all beautifully integrated with pro learning design and graphic design texts. On display in my office :)

'Today the OU has more #disabled #students than all the other UK universities put together and 55 per cent of our students come from disadvantaged backgrounds'. Great article - The Open University can be saved #savetheOU https://t.co/0Q3CYHwoqr via @timeshighered

Announcement that Prof Mary Kellett, Dean of @ou_WELS Faculty will be our interim VC. This is good news @OpenUniversity @OUstudents
Important reflections from @mweller on the @OpenUniversity crisis following today's VC resignation. The profound distress felt by so many of us who love the OU is palpable through his calm, measured language.
