Driven by learning philosophy
Meaningful learning happens when learners are inspired, excited, challenged, and motivated by a genuine love for something, not grades. At OpenLearning, we’re revolutionizing online learning to be a social and engaging experience. Our goal is to help others across the world to create these experiences for learners everywhere.
The design of the OpenLearning Platform is driven by our learning philosophy. We know that deep and effective learning happens when learners are being active – creating, discussing, and reflecting – rather than simply memorizing and repeating.
The OpenLearning Platform is the first of its kind – a fun, empowering and social learning experience is at the heart of its design. We give course creators the tools they need to create a learning community, not just an online course.
Supporting an innovative toolset
OpenLearning uses a social media workflow to enable and encourage commenting and liking, meaning your course will foster a community of collaborative learners instead of individuals feeling lost in a sea of information.
We provide built-in galleries, wikis, and blog pages to feature work and encourage collaboration and peer feedback, while always maintaining room for individuality.
As an educator, you will be supported by a community of OpenLearning educators and be provided with training courses and ongoing support to ensure you have the tools to build the best experiences possible for your learners.
