I remember when some OU tutorials were broadcast on the television (BBC) in the UK. Anyone could watch and as a teenager I remembered being entralled by some of the maths courses [1] - it probably influenced my career choices in the end.
In a way it was a precursor to similar material on YouTube and MOOCs - technical material freely open for all.

- gfaure 6y agoIncidentally, it's wild seeing the physical models of 3D surfaces in the Open University video you linked -- nowadays, the equivalent visualisations can be obtained so quickly, at such low cost, and reach so many more people.
- klelatti 6y agoIt is wild! I was struck looking at these agaim after so many years how similar they are in spirit to modern equivalents - I actually find the physical versions a bit more engaging. Both are so much better too than can be achieved in a physical classroom with just a whiteboard.
