Background[edit]

OUA is owned by seven Australian universities:
OUA also has connections and partnerships with a number of other institutions, including:
OUA is a member of the Elite Athlete Friendly University program (EAFU). A key factor in being part of EAFU is for the partner to support athletes to achieve academic excellence and recognise the challenges athletes face when combining education, career and a personal life with a high-performance sporting career.[2]
Professional athletes studying with OUA come from a range of sports including all football codes, tennis, athletics and diving.
OUA also has partnerships with several Australian public and private organizations such as National Australia Bank, Westpac Group and the Commonwealth Department of Defence.

History[edit]

Open Universities Australia was formed as the Open Learning Agency of Australia Pty Ltd (OLAA or OLA) in late 1993 as a private company.[3]
The organisation was originally owned by Monash University. In order to provide equal access to students across Australia’s regional areas, they created a partnership with theAustralian Broadcasting Corporation and eight other universities. At this time, the federal government provided funding for the project.
In 2004, OLA changed its name to Open Universities Australia (OUA), reflecting the changing demands and expectation of its students. In the same year, OUA students gained access to the new FEE-HELP scheme. FEE-HELP provides eligible students with deferred payment options for undergraduate and postgraduate units and courses and remains a popular option with OUA students.[3]
In June 2012, IBM used the organisation as an IT case study after implementing a new IT strategy. The move was aimed at supporting student performance and retention, while also giving the organisation an insight into marketing and sales options.[4]
In December 2012, the organisation placed a bid for a top level domain, .courses. The bid was made in a lottery draw, held by Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) to help assign new generic top-level domains.[5]
Open2Study was launched in March 2013 and is a teaching, learning and assessment platform. It enables universities to offer free courses online.[3] It competes with global online learning platform providers such as Coursera and EdX.[6] [7]
The learning platform provided by Open2Study consists of weekly modules, which are completed over a four-week period with online assessments at the end of each of the modules. Each course is self-contained, complete with interactive course content and resource materials. At the end of each module, students complete a multiple choice online assessment. In order to receive a certificate of completion, the student must average a score of 60% across the four tests for each course.[8]
In July 2013, OUA acquired a 100 per cent interest in Interact Learning Pty Ltd, trading as e3Learning, an Australian online training and compliance provider based in Adelaide. Founded in 2001, e3Learning has 250 corporate customers across Australia, the United Kingdom and New Zealand and employs more than 70 staff.[9]
In December 2013, OUA launched Open Training Institute, a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) offering online Vocational Education and Training (VET).
