OU courses in prison have been a lifeline for reluctant, disaffected and rejected learners for nearly 50 years but the barriers are now bigger than ever. In this session researchers, tutors, course teams and Offender Learning managers come together to bring you the latest research and innovative practice (technological and off-line) from across the University. Join us to discuss how we can share the good practice, improve access and support for HE in prisons (and beyond) for another 50 years, and encourage a Widening Participation agenda which includes all of society, whatever their impediments.
