N2 - MRI teaching is commonly undertaken within individual institutions as well as less frequently, but often with a wider range of experts involved in the teaching program, at national and international conferences.1, 2The latter approach often requires delegates to travel long distances to access educational material and, combined with often expensive registration fees, precludes those who cannot afford this approach. There are a few dedicated video channels to MRI education, allowing for users to catch up on topics that they may have missed during their lecture course.3-5During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, it was commonplace to move to an online platform to deliver content. We have initiated and developed an online, open access, MRI education course to support free MR for all.
