The Story of the Open University

Visible to anyone in the world

This question is directed to OU students and staff? Do you know the story, the history of your University?

Fell asleep during Newsnight last night, and woke up in the middle of this documentary, fronted by Lenny Henry.  Absolutely fascinating, it charts the history of the OU from the beginning to the present day.  

Available on iPlayer until 30 April.  Catch it if you can

It reminded me of why I've been so proud to part of this institution as both student and AL. The OU is something to be really proud of, and something worth fighting for.
