The SLN eLearning project aimed to promote lifelong learning in Sussex, England using online resources. The Open University participated by providing eLearning experts to help develop online content and training events. They used OpenLearn, the OU's open educational resource platform, to create learning materials, host discussions, and share project resources. Through workshops and online spaces on OpenLearn and other sites, the team explored how digital tools could support the SLN's educational outreach and collaboration between partner institutions. While questions remained, OpenLearn proved a successful platform for this type of multi-institutional eLearning partnership.
