Access to personal study content and ePortfolios for lifelong learning

Would you like to design free flowing interactions - between your learners and with you?

“We were attracted to OB3 because we saw it could strengthen learning through that learner to learner connection, with students being able to post comments and discuss with each other in a much more flexible and targeted way than when you have a discussion forum separate from the content.”

Educator quote

“When you see other’s comments you learn. It shows other people’s thinking, and you can slot in the comments wherever in the documents. It is a real community of learning… beaks down silos”

“ I’m a fan of OB3”

Student quote

“What we find really powerful is that all aspects of the delivery and student engagement are seamlessly deployed within the same space which creates a very easy and enjoyable on-line classroom”
