We have experienced a wonderful increase in interest and use of our Open School courses, with nearly 5,300 unique users completing a course in just one day in January 2021. With so many people on the platform, we have noticed a decrease in speed of the site resulting from this increased traffic and plan to have improvements made by early March.
