The 3D structure of GFP is so cool. It is so clearly a bottle with a fluorescent bit well isolated right in the middle. Like a little lamp.

OMG those devs are brutes, it's beautiful.

Nice, nice place. Natural sciences only, no bullshit.

Not really dedicated to open source course material, nor to free courses...

The "Open" in its name only made sense in the 60's, when it was founded, nowadays, there isn't much about this institution that is very different compared to traditional Oxbridge. "Cheap more online university" would be a more adequate name for it.

A system that would truly live up to the name "Open" in the year 2020 is the one described at the ideal university by Ciro Santilli.

Wikipedia even says that the initial focus was on broadcasting learning material on television and radio, so what happened to that now that we have an even more powerful on-demand tool called Internet!

They even created their own MOOC website, FutureLearn. But www.freecodecamp.org/news/massive-open-online-courses-started-out-completely-free-but-where-are-they-now-1dd1020f59/ mentions:OMG. God why.

A few open sources at: www.open.edu/openlearn/free-courses. The 5-hour course on particle physics says it all. Stated as of 2023 at www.open.ac.uk/about/open-educational-resources/openlearn/free-learning:

youtu.be/rsWwffX-u0A?t=99 Open University - How does it work? by Matt Greg Vlogs (2017) shows that they do have their own custom institutional material. And it is not open???? Please. youtu.be/rsWwffX-u0A?t=222 mentions that there is no entry exam, and you can change your courses at any time, that is good at least.

Israel apparently also created their own version in the 70's inspired by the British one: Open University of Israel. Same story it seems.

Located in Cambridge, United Kingdom.

Second largest number of Nobel Prize as of 2019, need on say more? en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Nobel_laureates_by_university_affiliation&oldid=934987075

Their only undergraduate courses that matter:
