For course producers
Online Courses is a national database of online courses at universities.
Who can add a course to the database?
University teachers, educational network liaisons, course co-ordinators, virtual university liaisons and study office staff can all add courses to the database without the need for user IDs.
What kinds of courses can be entered in the database?
The courses can be online courses, distance learning courses or classroom learning courses that are open to students from other universities. Courses added to the database must conform with university degree requirements.
