malcolm moss

i just had a phone call from malcolm moss, a member of the ultraversity team, following up my request for some material regarding their course for my research. it seems that the learning, technology and research BA(hons) is ideally suited to an online format, as it is designed to work alongside a student's job (their particular career being the focus for their degree). it has also been very successful over the last few years; so much so, that anglia ruskin university (who award the certification) have asked ultralab to develop similar resources for other courses

malcolm also mentioned that ultralab's other project, notschool.net, had been so successful that the government had upgraded it from a research project to a charity organisation

it is very interesting that the projects are successful because of their online format: ultraversity use their website to form a social community around the course's resources, and notschool.net is ideal for delivering education to those who are outside the normal education system
