The even more Open University
Thursday, August 16, 2007

Open University, the pioneering British-based higher-education institution that specialises in distance learning, has launched a website "OpenLearn", allowing free access to many of its course materials. The University's vision is for free online education to be available to all.

Psychology-related courses currently available include:

• Psychology History Timeline
• Making decisions
• Psychology in the 21st century
• The body: a phenomenological psychological perspective
