Cohere is being developed as part of the Open University’s OpenLearn initiative, which is publishing thousands of hours of OU course materials online for free access and remixing, together with free e-learning and social software tools.

Today, Cohere was folded into the Moodle environment that we use to deliver the resources, so once signed into OpenLearn, users can jump straight into their Cohere workspace from the Knowledge Mapping module that sits on every learning unit’s homepage (as shown left).

There’s also a new QuickStart Guide introducing the tool in the OpenLearn context. The welcome movie’s also on YouTube in the OpenLearn channel.
