The Open University (OU) is the United Kingdom's only university dedicated to distance learning. Known by many as the University of the Air, we've always reached our students through BBC television broadcasts.

Our YouTube pages give an insight into our multimedia learning resources and our broadcast programmes. We also hope they give a voice and a face to a community of over 180,000 students, 20,000 staff and millions of alumni.

We plan to launch a Research Channel on YouTube in 2009.
