Learner-Centred Evaluation of Systems, Systems Courses, and Future Needs in Systems Learning
Chapter
Abstract
More than 16000 students have learned about systems through supported open learning at the Open University over the last 25 years. This paper reports on a pilot project prompted by a simple question: how do the students and tutors (who are often also ex-students) benefit from systems? It also sought to reflect generally on systems as a discipline and its future development.
