What’s the alternative? Widening participation by making VLE-based distance learning available to those without internet access
- 1. What’s the alternative? Widening participation by making VLE-based distance learning available to those without internet access Centre for Open Learning of Mathematics, Science, Computing and Technology (COLMSCT) Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning The Open University is incorporated by Royal Charter (RC 000391), an exempt charity in England & Wales and a charity registered in Scotland (SC 038302).

- 2. The OU Associate Lecturer (AL) Student Student in prison
- 4. Student interviews (formal) We’ve got an intranet with Moodle. Can we load the course website on it? Can my brother access the forum and tell me what’s being discussed so that I can reply? I print things off at home and bring it in for the students I wanted to do a Computing degree but I have to do Sociology instead because you don’t need internet access for that I didn’t know you could submit assignments by email, I thought you needed to go to the website Not having internet access slows you down. You have to get a book from the library which they might have to get in for you. Prison education staff interviews (informal)
- 5. Prison Tutors Forum There was an e-activity at the begining of the course which required students to engage in online discussions on their rain gauge experiment, I got around this one by anonomising examples of the messages post to the TGF and printing it off for my student to use for his assignment Just wonder what colleagues do in this situation?I hopefully can and will see the students F2F but what about all the online stuff? When it comes to changing TMAs, accepting paper instead of eTMAs and so on, how much authority does the AL and/or the course team have? At what point do these alterations need permission from elsewhere in the university? I think it is too much to expect either the prison Education Officer or myself to provide hard copies of everything they need Are you allowed to take CDs or USB sticks into the secure unit? This is often a problem in prisons and so in the past I've had to resort to printing off things that would be easier to transfer digitally (assignments, CMAs etc). If you can create a CD-R with all the course website material on it makes life much easier. I'm not clear on who provides the student with TMA questions when they are only available online (I sent a hardcopy of TMA01 just in case)
