E838 Videocassette 1

Synopsis

A support video for a course activity in which students are required to construct a management plan for a fictional outdoor activity centre that is struggling to survive. In two part, the first is a ‘promo’ for the centre and is designed to help students related to the location and get an idea of the facilities on offer; the second is a spoof local news item about the potential closure of the centre, and it gives a number of clues about what has gone wrong.

Notes

NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
