Online social: un-distancing – 11 May 2020

Distance learning can be an ideal way to spend time right now, and while some of the world has changed beyond recognition, for many OU students studying has been relatively consistent. Apart from things like changes in work, home schooling, a lack of social contact and many other challenges. At our SHL online social event we’ll have the opportunity to talk to other OU students about how we’ve found all these changes, and suggest ways that we’ve discovered new things. Guests will include Mike Batham who will tell us how he made sanitiser for Milton Keynes hospital and Jeni Sanderson, a life coach, who will explain why we can struggle at times like this and suggest ways we can turn some of the negatives into positives.  This live, online and interactive event is a fun way to chat with other students and participate in our studio panel’s discussions.  External Link Timestamps: 00:00 - Student Hub Live - http://studenthublive.open.ac.uk/ 48:04 - OpenLearn - https://www.open.edu/openlearn/ 52:00 - nQuire - https://nquire.org.uk/
