This beta site presents the entire range of podcasts produced by the Open University. The site is divided into three sections: OU Learn, OU Research and OU Life. The OU Learn podcasts are divided into fourteen subject areas from Arts and Humanities to Social Sciences. Within each subject area, the podcasts are further arranged as ‘albums’ consisting of numbered tracks, containing material relevant to OU courses. The podcasts come with transcripts, related links and often feature video material too. Users can subscribe via RSS feed, iTunes, or Miro.

Series of videos sponsored by the Science and Technology Facilities Council, which offer an insight into the research "backstage" at a number of British science facilities, including the ISIS pulse neutron and muon source at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire, and the United Kingdom Astronomy Technology Centre in Edinburgh.
The site can be navigated via an aerial view page, where thumbnails of the videos are shown next to the location where the research is carried out. The videos show scientists in their workplace explaining the work they do. These short films are supplemented by a series of Q&A videos where the scientists go into further detail about their work.

At the heart of this resource is a video library of over fifty maths and science lessons. Led by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in collaboration with a number of international partners, the videos are freely available to stream or download in Quicktime or MPEG 4. DVD and VHS copies can also be ordered. Each lesson consists of video segments, a detailed summary, downloadable teachers’ guides and handouts, a transcript and links to additional relevant online resources. A number of the videos also have voiceovers and subtitles in Portuguese and Arabic. The lessons are organised according to topic and cover Mathematics; Engineering; Physics; Biology and Chemistry. A video introduction by MIT Professor Richard C. Larson, presents an overview of the project.
