OU students on Twitter

Hello! There are a lot of students wanting to find fellow students on Twitter and chat to those studying the same modules/qualifications as them. We're hoping to start a Twitter directory on Platform to make it easier for tweeters to connect with other students/alumni but, to start with, please let us know if you're on Twitter, stating your username and what module you're studying.

I'll go first... I'm @robynbateman and I'm not studying with the OU at the moment (I did do A174 a couple of years ago) but I do work here

Oh, and AA100 students are ahead of the game, they've started a list already.

 Hi,

I'm James (@_elj) and I'm the next presentations of W100 and W223. A few years ago I did quite a few of the technology short courses (TT280 - TT382). 

I seem to live on Twitter, so quite happy to chat to anyone OU-related! :)

Hi all,
I'm unremarkably @NikkiCrick
I'll like to keep things simple ;-)

I have just finished U122, and am starting A215 and A297 in October.

Always happy to chat, especially if it's silly o'clock and battling the insomnia :-)

I'm Scott, I am a member of the Platform team and in recent years I've been the editor of Sesame. I have studied Beginners' Spanish with the OU but I am not currently studying due to being the dad of two young tearaways (a three-year-old boy and my unruly 18-month-old daughter), but there are some really interesting courses that I am tempted by.

Lynn Evans - Tue, 01/05/2012 - 19:29

 Hi, 

I am Lynn and I have completed my OU studies with a BA Open. I have studied a mixture of English and psychology courses, hence the Open degree rather than a named degree.

I have been tweeting since Oct 2008 but it is mostly smart remarks or comments made in the hope that someone will click the little yellow star to gets the Favourites counted on a Fav aggregting site. Yes, THAT'S what the star is for. Silly? Yes it is. 

Feel free to follow or say hello, but remember I rarely tweet about my study, more about nonsense. 

@penbleth

You may prefer to follow my new account @LMcGE. It is much newer but not as inclined to nonsense. I talk about my family, my child who has Autism and post photographs. This account isn't worried about collecting stars and will reply if you @ me AND I happen to be logged in at the time. 

Lynn
