Future Learn offers a diverse selection of FREE online courses from top universities and specialist organisations from around the world. These are delivered one step at a time, and are accessible on mobile, tablet and desktop, so you can fit learning around your life.

Throughout the Documentary Media Month programme I will be hosting a series of FREE 1 hour ‘How To’ sessions for those wishing to learn more about MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) and highlighting a course/s starting that week.

‘The Right to Education: Breaking Down The Barriers’

Does Education for All, mean all? What are the barriers to participating in education? How do you include “all” in the classroom?

Over the three weeks you will be exploring some answers to these and other questions. This is very timely as a new global universal Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) has just been set. SDG 4 urges us to “Ensure inclusive and quality education for all and promote lifelong learning”.

Duration: 3 weeks (starts 31st October) / Online study time: 4 hours per week.
