List members who teach heritage might be interested in the following series of short video and audio documentaries and academic perspectives which have been developed as part of the course materials for the new Open University course 'Understanding global heritage' and made freely available on iTunes U. The resources, which are a sample of those studied as part of the course, have been arranged into a series of albums based around broad themes relating to the study of heritage and the content of the course. You might find they are some use in your own teaching.

Please feel free to get into contact with me as Course Team Chair with any queries relating to the course or the audio and video pieces themselves. A series of course books will shortly be co-published by the Open University and University of Manchester Press. I will send more details of these once they are published.
