It can always be tough adjusting the the first week, so do let me know how you are getting on. You'll see I've sent a revised list of tutorials (now through OU Live), together with the online workshops and tutorials. It has been pointed out that there are a couple of errors in the copy which comes from an OU document, so I'll take these out.
You should have access to OU Live very soon and I'll send an e-mail about the logging in to OU Live when OU Live is available from your 'Resources' menu. Our first OU session will be this coming Saturday.
The first OU Live tutorial on Saturday (14 Feb) will be based around the definition of material culture issues which you've been studying. One issue will be to consider object biographies. Note the starting time for this will be 10:00 GMT and not 11:00 as planned for the original face-to-face session, which is chiefly to encourage as much participation as possible from the group.
We will spend some time in the tutorial practising using OU Live but, where possible, please try to log on before the tutorial to test out the system. Follow all the initial log on instructions and then find the tools menu when you get into the web room. Click and scroll down to the 'Audio set up wizard'. You will require speakers and possibly a microphone.
Thank you for feeding back to me your perspectives so far about the module and things I need to know about you and your studying. This will help me support you and to get to know you more.
