Keep on learning

摘要

The Open University (OU), UK, offers off-the-shelf solutions for professional development (PD), as well as bespoke services developed in association with organisations and professional bodies. Charles Elvin, Director of the Centre for Professional Learning and Development (CPLD) at the OU, sees the bespoke service as an advantage as courses are customised to the professional, 'The more relevant the course is to a specific work situation and the more significant to the individual, the better they learn and use that knowledge,' he says.
