OpenLearn is an educational website. It is the UK's Open University's contribution to the open educational resources (OER) project and the home of free, open learning from The Open University.[5] The original project was part-funded by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.[6] OpenLearn is a member of the OpenCourseWare Consortium (OCWC).[7]
