Free teaching and learning resource for anyone interested in Welsh history

The Open University Arts Faculty has launched a free teaching and learning resource website as part of the OpenLearn initiative. It is aimed at anyone interested in Welsh history. It contains study materials, links to some of the most important institutions that contribute to our understanding of the history of Wales, and a pool of resources that can help you understand Welsh history and the way it is studied.

The site includes videos from the BBC Coast series, audio recordings of seventeen BBC Radio Wales programmes, a case study of David Lloyd George, a glossary of Welsh history and a Welsh history timeline. Some of the material comes from the Open University course, 'Small country, big history: themes in the history of Wales' (A182).

Rob Humphreys, Director of The Open University in Wales said, "This is an open access website available throughout the world. It compliments the Open University’s history of Wales course, and it also fulfils a much wider educational role."
