Welcome to the Compendium website for The Open University UK. Compendium is a software tool for mapping information, ideas and arguments.

This site reflects how Compendium is being used within the OU. Compendium is developed in KMi, in collaboration with various US partners, and funded from externally secured research grants.

We support our global user and developer community via the Compendium Institute, where you will find news, reports and discussions reflecting the wide uses to which the tool is being put.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have queries.
