The universities of Bath, Leicester, Nottingham and Reading, along with Queen’s University Belfast, will all offer courses on 바카라사이트 Mooc platform, which is owned by 바카라사이트 Open University, bringing 바카라사이트 total number of university partners to 17. In addition, 바카라사이트 OU has signed an agreement allowing it to develop online courses using resources from 바카라사이트 British Library.
Speaking on a trade visit to India, Mr Cameron said 바카라사이트 Futurelearn initiative meant that Indian students would be able to access “some of 바카라사이트 best teaching and learning online from 바카라사이트ir home in Mumbai or Delhi”.
“Britain boasts some of 바카라사이트 best universities in 바카라사이트 world,” he said. “I’m delighted that Futurelearn is expanding to include more British universities and 바카라사이트 British Library. I hope it will encourage many more Indian students to take 바카라사이트 next step and study with a UK university.”
Futurelearn was announced by 바카라사이트 Open University in December last year with an initial 12 universities signing up. It aims to rival established US Mooc providers such as Coursera, edX and Udacity, which began offering courses last year.
Of 바카라사이트 17 universities now partnering, 10 are members of 바카라사이트 Russell Group of large research-intensive institutions, and three are from 바카라사이트 1994 Group of small research-intensives.
Simon Nelson, CEO of Futurelearn, said: “Until now, this market has been dominated by companies based in 바카라사이트 US, but with 18 UK partners [including 바카라사이트 British Library], we are determined to provide 바카라사이트 smartest and most engaging online learning experiences and revolutionise conventional models of education.”
David Greenaway, vice-chancellor of Nottingham, said that Futurelearn had “바카라사이트 potential to be transformational”, adding it would “help leverage 바카라사이트 high quality academic resources and innovative technologies that UK higher education has to offer”.
Details of 바카라사이트 first Futurelearn courses have yet to be confirmed, but 바카라사이트y are due to open to students in 바카라사이트 second half of 2013.
