What is Open Learning

An Introduction to Open Learning

Open Learning is a flexible distance learning method of studying online that is designed to fit around your busy life. Work, family and social commitments take up a lot of time and often conflict with a traditional academic calendar. Open Learning allows you to organise your studies around your life so that you can pursue your academic and professional goals on your own schedule.

Open Learning helps provide students and employers with options that other providers cannot match:

When do you want to start your studies?
What time of day do you prefer to study?
Where do you feel most comfortable learning?

The choice is yours. Open Learning enables you to study when you want and where you want. This flexibility allows you to start preparing for a new role or a new career when it is most convenient for you.

How does Open Learning work?

Kaplan Open Learning is like other rigorous academic programmes where you must apply and then be accepted to study on an online Foundation Degree.

Once you have been accepted, you will be able to go online and use your personal login code to enter our innovative Kaplan Open Learning classroom. Courses will be accessible from anywhere and at anytime as long as you have an internet connection.

All of your lectures and tutorials will be interactive and dynamic. You will have the opportunity to meet other students and speak to your lecturers, either in a group forum or on a one-to-one basis. Each module will have an element of work based learning so that you can integrate your own professional experiences into your studies.
