Partnerships III

I've always wanted to make links with other organisations through the course - It's good for our students, and I think our students could do good in all sorts of contexts.  So two developments in the last few months are really pleasing.

The first is an initial project with Open Cinema, working with homeless in Birmingham.  We'll bring some OU expertise and learning material to the table and if it develops there'll be lots of scope for using the T156 project to feed into something very satisfying.

The 2nd has just been signed off - an institutional membership for Shooting People.  This will give our students half price membership and gives us the chance to list our course on their site for anyone interested in developing their production skills.

T156 goes global

One of the basic design criteria of the course was always that anyone in the world with a computer and a camera capable of stringing together a video should be able to study it.  

We've just been added to the list of courses that are available globally, and the result is that if you want to study film-making with us you can now sign up at: http://www3.open.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/course/t156.htm#register from any country in the world.
