Overview
The University’s vision for FutureLearn:
The online platform provided by Futurelearn will give the University of Leeds the opportunity to make our inspirational, high-quality educational resources
available to any individual with access to the Internet. By raising the University’s profile nationally and internationally, it will provide a key
recruitment tool; by setting a standard for Leeds Open Educational Resources (OERs), it will enhance blended learning for resident students and drive the
development of innovative distance and mixed-delivery programmes.

Professor Lovett, who holds Leeds’ Leadership Chair of Global Challenges, said:
“I’m new to online education and the quantity and quality of debate among the participants was really excellent. It was a privilege being in the MOOC with everyone.
“It felt like being in a room of friends – the range of opinions was fascinating, and the discussion has been polite and informative.”
