Meet the people who love Eduo
"I thoroughly enjoyed the course, lots of thought-provoking topics about what we have done or are doing to our world as well as the basics of geology, rock types etc... Thanks to all at OU and Eduo. I'll recommend the course to my 'University of 3rd Age' Science Group, and raise some of the topics as a basis for our discussions."

I am grateful to Professor Rothery and all those who contributed so much of their skills and knowledge to assemble and present such a quality program. Thank you Open Univerity!"
