and a couple of groups on facebook if you search for DSE141
http://www.facebook.com/groups/255283041149600/ and
http://www.facebook.com/groups/132008730209534/

I expect most of you know this stuff already 
You can also access an OU e-mail address form student home and give it a personal tag
There are some good deals available for software upgrades from MS and others and your ".ac.uk" address will be acepted as proof of being a student
You can also start a personal blog if you want
I have started a blog at
http://learn.open.ac.uk/mod/oublog/view.php?user=798124
If you are interested please try it out and maybe leave a comment as I'm not quite sure what is viewable to others
Good luck to everyone
See you on the course somewhere
Les


Useful stuff, thanks for posting Les

Hi Les,
I am a young student of the OU at 18, and am just about to embark on DSE141 in November; on route to a Bsc (Hons) Psychology. I am excited, but also rather nervous as I have never actually studied the subject before.
How much experiance do you have with the topic? Also where are you based?
Be great to here from others starting the module.
Good Luck
Amy
Hi les, I cannot access your links above. It's saying I do not have authorisation for this??
Any ideas?
Thanks, Debbie - Belfast.
Hi Les
I could access the link but couldn't join as it's a closed group. Do we have to wait until we actually start the course before we can join?
My starting date for DSE141 is in May 2012.
