Welcome to OPEN UMass Amherst!
Open UMass Amherst provides a platform for open courses, MOOCs, and community service programs.
On Thursday, October 17, 2019, OPEN UMass was upgraded to Moodle 3.5. The first time you enter a course, you'll see a User Tour to introduce you to new features in Moodle 3.5.
If you are a UMass Amherst student and the course you are looking for is not listed here, it may be hosted on Moodle at UMass Amherst or Blackboard Learn.
Instructors who would like to learn more about the new tools available can sign up for one of our workshops on the Instructional Innovation Events page or contact the Instructional Media Lab at instruct@umass.edu.
