This group is maintained on behalf of the Open University Students Assocation in Scotland.
We will use it to bring you news and information on what is happening within your Assocation. Please also feel free to use it to communicate with OUSA in Scotland and "meet" other OU students within Scotland.
OUSA in Scotland is governed by an elected Assembly of student representatives. Elections take place in late Summer each year (although 2011 may be a little later) and any OU student resident within Scotland is entitled to stand for election. In addition to our elected members we also have some observer members who generally are student representatives on OU in Scotland committees who have not stood for election to the Assembly.
Assembly leadership and administration is undertaken by an Executive which is also made up of elected student representatives. These elections take place concurrently with the main Assembly elections. We will bring you news of the next round of elections here once nominations open. As an OU student in Scotland, you could be part of our Assembly.
The OUSA in Scotland Assembly has the following functions:
- to facilitate the representation of OU students at a local and national level within the Open University and Higher Education sector
- to define national level OUSA policy
- to facilitate obtaining the widest possible student opinion and access to discussion and decision making in OUSA
- to provide an OUSA public face to OU events within Scotland (e.g. residential school, graduation)
- to support local OUSA Groups and Networks within Scotland.

Shetland students' social nights planned
Are you a student in Shetland? Shetland College is working in partnership with Shetland Arts to set up a weekly students' night in the Mareel Cafe-Bar, Lerwick, as a means for all students across Shetland to socialise.
Organisers want to hear from any students who would like to get actively involved in planning student nights at Mareel.
They hope to attract students from Shetland College, The Open University, NAFC, Adult Learning, Train Shetland and fifth/sixth year school students.
"With so many college students studying part-time, or through a community Learning Centre, these types of events are important because they bring the student body together," says organiser Greg McCarron.
"We are hoping to have our first committee meeting as soon as possible, so if you'd like to be part of it please get in touch."
For more information see Get involved in Mareel students' night or email greg.mccarron@uhi.ac.uk to register your interest.

New financial support for OU students in Scotland
The Scottish Government has recently announced significant changes to the part-time fee grant which means more OU students will be able to benefit and to a greater extent.
OUSA in Scotland welcomes this annoucement especially the news that the minimum level of study to qualify is to be reduced to 30 credits. This is a particular request that OUSA in Scotland made to the Scottish Government during two consultations "Smarter Scotland" and "Putting Learners at the Centre".
There are still a number of areas that need clarified and OUSA in Scotland will be seeking further information from the Government.
The following text is from the OU in Scotland's email that was sent out to all current students.
Changes to the Part-Time Fee Grant for 2013:
The Scottish Government has announced changes to the Part-Time Fee Grant which will come into effect from September 2013. The main changes are:
- the current income threshold will be changed from £22,000 to £25,000
- students studying 30 credits or more will be able to apply for a Part-Time Fee Grant.
The Scottish Government announcement is available here: http://engageforeducation.org/2012/08/scottish-student-support-announcement/
Further information on the changes to the Part-Time Fee Grant will be available in due course from the Student Awards Agency Scotland: http://www.saas.gov.uk/
Part-Time Fee Waiver:
The Open University understands that from September 2013, the Student Awards Agency Scotland will administer the Part-Time Fee Waiver Scheme and that there have been no changes to the scheme.
Fees at The Open University in Scotland for academic year 2012-13:
Tuition fees in Scotland this year are the same for both the current and the restructured undergraduate qualifications, and are expected to remain at very similar levels as before, with only small inflationary increases. For more information about ways to pay go to http://www3.open.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/qualification/ways-to-pay/index.htm

OU v conventional uni
I'm interested in people's views on how the OU compares to conventional university (I use the singular, here, because I'm not looking to explore the differences between different conventional universities, as I think this is another issue). I've made the terms of the question not too specific in order to invoke as broad a range of answers to it as possible.

Final Call for OUSA Assembly members for 2012/12
Are you interested in being a part of OUSA in Scotland (or indeed in any other nation or region)?
Would you like to be a part of OUSA in Scotland?
Elections to the OUSA Scottish Student Assembly are about to take place and you could be joining us. The OUSA Scottish Assembly consists of 32 O U students who have been elected by their fellow students to act as students' representatives. It's a great opportunity to have a say in how OUSA represents students' interests both within the University and externally to other bodies right up to Scottish Government level.
It's now time for our next round of elections and this is the opportunity for you to be part of the Assembly or even it's Executive over the next 12 months commencing in August.
What is the Assembly?
The Assembly has the following functions:
- to facilitate the representation of O U students at a local and national level within the Open University and Higher Education sector
- to define national level OUSA policy
- to facilitate obtaining the widest possible student opinion and access to discussion and decision making in OUSA
- to provide an OUSA public face at O U events within Scotland (e.g. residential school, graduation)
- to support local OUSA Groups within Scotland.
Over the last 12 months the Assembly has been involved in tasks such as running online surveys of student views, responding to Government consultations on the future of Higher Education, highlighting to M S Ps the current inequity of part-time students paying fees whilst full-time students receive free tuition and providing a student input into O U in Scotland meetings.
Assembly leadership and administration is undertaken by an Executive which is made up of 6 elected student representatives.
You can read more information on the work of OUSA in Scotland in our latest annual report at http://learn.open.ac.uk/mod/forumng/discuss.php?d=983051 or see our website at http://www.ousa-in-scotland.org.uk/assembly.html.
What Level of Commitment is Required?
As an Assembly Member you will be expected to attend the majority of its meetings. There are approximately 4 of these over the course of the year and attendance may either be at a face to face meeting or via remote online methods (whichever is most convenient for you). The face to face meetings take place on Saturdays at various venues across Scotland and travel expenses are paid, including essential overnight accommodation where required.
In between formal meetings the Assembly continues its activities by means of online forums. You will get more out of being an Assembly member if you are prepared to participate in these forums.
You will be expected to be a member of at least one Working Group. These Working Groups have been established to enable smaller groups of individuals to focus on particular aspects of the Assembly's work. The current working groups are:
Education and Academic Affairs
Student Support
Finance and Events
Communications
Website and Technology Development
Being part of the Assembly Executive will require a greater level of commitment. You will need to participate in an online forum on a fairly regular basis as this is where most of the Executive's work is done and decisions are made. You may also be asked to take the lead with one of the above Working Groups.
What's in it for me?
- Being part of the O U in Scotland student community
- An opportunity to have a say in the policy of OUSA in Scotland and hence the student viewpoint that we represent to the O U
- Experience for your C V
- Networking with O U students from all walks of life
- The chance to meet new people and make new friends
Standing for Election
Standing for election to the Assembly or Executive is a simple process. Click here http://www.open.ac.uk/ousa/regions_nations.php for more details and to obtain a nomination form.
You will be given the opportunity to provide a short election address. Although this is not compulsory we would recommend that you do complete this section as most of the people voting for you will not know anything about you. You can use the election address to provide information on your O U student experience, other experience you have that is relevant or just to express your views on how you would like OUSA in Scotland to progress. Return the form to the office no later than 6th June.
That's all there is to it. No hustings, standing up giving speeches or having to deal with questions from the voters. Voting is administered by our office staff and usually takes place online (occasionally postal voting may be used). All O U students registered in Scotland are entitled to have a vote in the elections provided they ask to be included on the electoral register.
If you would like an informal chat about what is involved, please feel free to contact us on executive@ousa-in-scotland.org.uk.

OUSA CEC elections
O U S A Central Executive Committee Elections
Nominations are now open for elections to OUSA's Central Executive Committee.
This committee includes the officers of the Association i.e. the President, Deputy President and Vice Presidents along with representatives for geographical areas. This includes the Student Association Representative (S A R) for Scotland. The S A R for Scotland acts as a communication channel between O U S A centrally and the Scottish Assembly / Executive (of which they are an ex-officio member) and ensures the proper representation of O U S A members with Scotland.
The committee meets 3 times a year at weekends in Milton Keynes (accommodation provided and travel expenses paid). Positions on the C E C are now elected for a 24 month term of office.
The election process for the C E C is slightly different from the Assembly. As well as completing the nomination form you will also have to obtain the support of 4 other students for your nomination. All candidates will be invited to participate in hustings enabling voters to ask questions of them. In the case of the S A R for Scotland this will take place online by means of forum so all questions will be asked and responded to in writing. In the case of the Association Officers there will also be Live Hustings at the forthcoming O U S A Conference in June.
If you would be interested in standing for election for a position on the Central Executive Committee please contact ousa-elections@open.ac.uk for a nomination pack or download one from http://learn1.open.ac.uk/mod/subpage/view.php?id=380.

The OU's move to Online Delivery - views of Scottish students wanted
We are all affected by the O U's increasing use of the internet to deliver our module materials and resources.

Register your interest for new and improved OUSA conference
This year's conference organised by the Open University Student Association (OUSA) is getting a makeover - and students are invited to register their interest in attending.
The conference is expected to host up to 400 students at the OU campus in Milton Keynes from 22 to 24 June 2012, with the same number again taking part in a related online event.
Also this year, for the first time a large part of the weekend is being devoted to student-focused activities including workshops, presentations, lectures, debates, seminars and discussion groups, both at the face-to-face event and in the online arena. There will also be ample time for students to socialise.
“Although we’re saving plenty of places (within both arenas) for students who already take an active part in OUSA, we’re encouraging those who haven’t been involved before to apply for the many places reserved especially for them. We expect there to be a large take up of these places and the Students Association will be meeting all accommodation and catering costs for the face to face event as well as reasonable travel expenses.”
Registration for OUSA Conference 2012, (both face-to-face and online) doesn’t open until six weeks prior to the event, but students are asked to register their interest and will be included on a mailing list about how they can apply for a place when the time comes. To get on the mailing list, send your name and student number to s.j.carter@open.ac.uk. Please include your region or nation and state if you are interested in attending the face-to-face event or the online version.
“After this year, the conference timetable changes and it will become a biennial event so it won’t be until 2014 that this fantastic opportunity for O U Students will be offered again,” added Marianne Cantieri.
You can also follow OUSA on Twitter for updates.

Be a Student Rep for a day
Would you like to be a student representative for a day? OUSA (Open University Students Association) in Scotland is currently seeking volunteer students to attend a meeting with the Open University to represent student views.
The meeting, known as Scottish Committee, is an annual event which will be taking place on Saturday 17th March in Edinburgh. As well as students, there will also be senior support and academic staff of the University and representatives of Associate Lecturers. Student representatives attend the meeting to give a student perspective on the items under discussion and are encouraged to take a full part in the meeting.
OUSA is entitled to send one student to represent each OU catchment area (there are 36 geographic catchment areas within Scotland). Would you like to be one of these 36 students? You would need to be available for an all day (approximately 10am to 4pm) meeting in Edinburgh for which reasonable travel / accommodation expenses are paid. You also need to "belong" to the catchment area you are representing. This does not mean that you must be resident within the actual town, just allocated to it by the O U.
As well as attending the meeting you will need to allow a couple of hours about a week in advance of the meeting to read the meeting papers. You are also encouraged to discuss the papers in an online environment with your fellow student representatives prior to the meeting.
As yet we do not know what will be on the agenda. However we do expect the O U in Scotland's Strategic Plan to be a major item. Other topics that have been discussed in the past include postgraduate provision, science degrees and virtual tutorials. The meeting is usually in two distinct parts: one part being the business meeting and the other part being focused on small group workshop sessions.
If you would like to be the student rep for your catchment area please contact OUSA in Scotland by the 31st January on executive@ousa-in-scotland.org.uk quoting your PI number and catchment area* (essential), and include a couple of sentences as to why you would like the opportunity to attend this meeting. In the event of there being more than one applicant for any catchment area the O U S A in Scotland Executive will make a decision based on this statement.
This is a one-off meeting and no further commitment will be required.
We look forward to hearing from you.
* if you are unsure of your catchment area, this information is available from the profile section of your Student Home page or contact the O U office in Edinburgh.

Putting Learners at the Centre - the Scottish Government's consultation on post-16 education
The OUSA Scottish Assembly, following the publication of the Scottish Government’s consultation on “Putting Learners at the Centre " Delivering our Ambitions for Post-16 Education” discussed in depth the impact of the proposals at its meeting in November 2011 and online on the OUSA Scottish Assembly online forums, and agreed that this is a major consultation exercise by the Scottish Government that required OUSA in Scotland to make a formal response. This follows from the Scottish Government’s earlier consultation on “Building a Smarter Future: Towards a Sustainable Scottish Solution for the Future of Higher Education” to which the Scottish Assembly made a response in March 2011, and followed up with an ‘Election Manifesto’ in May 2011 during the Scottish Parliament elections in 2011.
The OUSA Scottish Assembly feel that this is a turning point for Post-16 Education in Scotland and that OUSA’s experience in part-time and distance learning higher education makes it a leader in representing this group of students, and as such any change in Post-16 Education needs the voice of students who have experience of non conventional educational pathways.
George Macfarlane, OUSA Scottish Executive Member, stated “While our response to the Scottish Government consultation is looking to the future, we are also looking for parity between institutions, to ensure a level playing field. Open University students are already discriminated against by the system, as our University is funded on completions rather than number of students registered " unlike other institutions. Part-time students, irrelevant of institution, have to pay up-front fees, full time students do not.”
George went on to say “The OUSA Scottish Assembly are fully aware that some of their recommendations may not be palatable with politicians, or even the Higher Education system in Scotland, but as the leading student association in Scotland representing part-time and distance learning students, the Assembly feel that it is now time to raise the standard and ensure that the needs and wishes of part time and distance learners are fully heard by politicians and the wider higher education environment. "

Help stop the cuts in the Open University
Due to a change in policy by the Westminster Government the OU is about to lose the substantial amount of public funding that it currently receives via the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE).
Fortunately the OU in Scotland receives its public funding from the Scottish Government and students in Scotland will not be subject to the trebling of fees that is about to hit undergraduate OU students in England. However, the University as a whole is losing its biggest source of income and the implications of this will be devastating and wide-ranging for us all.
The University and Colleges Union (UCU) have organised an E-petition on the HM Government website calling on the Government to reverse its policy. The Open University Students Association (OUSA) fully supports this petition and urges all OU students (past, present and future) along with their friends and family to sign this petition. If you care about your University and believe that higher education should be open to all, please follow the link below to sign the petition.
