This is kind of a note to self. Freshers week begins the week after next. I normally introduce OUSA to my students in my first tutorial, but I'm thinking of flipping everything on its head this year. Instead I'm planning on pointing my students to the OUSA (Home (oustudents.com)) and Student Hub Live (The Student Hub Live | The Student Hub Live (open.ac.uk)) in my introductory emails before term starts - I'm expecting to be given my student list next week or the week after.
OUSA gives students opportunities to meet others either through the OU clubs and societies or through volunteering, while Student Hub Live runs online events and podcasts about university life and succeeding as a student. These presentations cover a lot of the generic OU student ground that my first tutorial usually covers, I figure if I send students to Student Hub Live that will free up time to cover SM123 specific content including preparing and submitting TMA01 and how the group project works. I'm hoping that covering this content will make my introductory tutorials more useful.
