Degree Ceremony online training pack for OUSA volunteers
This package is for those OUSA volunteers who are to receive training to work on the OUSA stall at the University's annual Degree Ceremonies. OUSA has a presence at these events and we use this as an opportunity to market OUSA (and the service it provides to students) and market O U branded commemorative goods to visiting graduates and their family and friends. This package is open to everyone.

Online training pack for OUSA forum moderators
This online training package is the training resource to assist with moderating duties. We also intend it to be an online support resource for both new and established mods. Included are a number of interactive exercises that you can engage in to help develop your sense of when and what kind of moderation is appropriate. You will react to a number of typical scenarios in which some form of moderation is necessary, and in which you will be required to exercise your sense of judgement. This pack is restricted to forum moderators.

Elluminate online tutorial
With its increasing use among representatives and other members of the Association, Elluminate, a web conferencing program, is proving a very useful tool within our online community. Elluminate can be used for formal online 'virtual' meetings, as well as informal sessions, and has a host of interactive features that can boost the 'virtual' experience. If you haven't become familiar with the program, OUSA now provide an online tutorial as a way of introducing new users to the basics of the Elluminate tool.
