Open University
Education and how people learn has changed dramatically over the years, with most only having the opportunity to participate in higher education straight out of leaving school at 16 or 18. However, now there is possibly more opportunity and resources available to those who want to study while being in a job, or at later point in life after they have had a change in career, or after they have a family of their own. Open university has made it more appealing for people to go forward in education, and persue careers they might not have been able to gain without the open university.
Open education has changed higher education dramatically; before it may have only been those who chose to go to university after a levels, or those who had financial stability to leave their jobs and persue a education. However, the open university has still had to change and adapt to modern society, with many courses being based on virtual learning sites, for example Bedford College's Moodle.
With many educational websites and courses being virtual, many may be subject to 'fake' websites; where the information is false and gives readers non factual information. Once subjected to this form of education, it can be hard for learners to find websites or information that they are certain is correct. An example of this is Wikipedia, where people have to take the information with caution, as its a website where the information put there can be changed or edited by anybody.
