<p style="line-height: 20.7999992370605px;"><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;">Citizen Maths is an open online course targeted at self-motivated adults who have decided that they want to improve their grasp of mathematics at or around Level 2. A first phase, comprising five to 10 hours of learning, ran this autumn, with a further 20-to-40 provisionally planned for 2015. This is one of the first applications of MOOC models at this level of learning. The approach is based around "Udacity-style" tutorial videos and activities, including interactive apps, spreadsheets and programming in Scratch.</span></p>
