Welcome to the blog of the Open University Student Association Vice President Education.
Why a blog? Several reasons really:
First off because I can - I'm reasonably web savvy, fairly articulate, and my style of communication suits the short sharp bursts of blogging.
It seems silly in this day and age (when you have the ability and the will) not to take advantage of all the channels of communication available to us, especially when you want to engage with your members and have them engage with you.
Next it’s fairly spontaneous – as news views and information come to hand they can be posted quickly into a blog, published, and shared with the wider student community.
It’s accessible – in the sense that anyone with an internet connection and a web browser can arrive at the content.
Finally – it allows for the participation of its readers through the comment facility which means that views can be sought, feedback given, interaction can take place.
If as students we are going to continue to influence our university and help shape our own educational establishment, it is important that the Vice President with the education remit has as many avenues as possible available to them to gather and disseminate news, views, and information.

What a good idea
I have them sometimes;-)
This is a good idea Polly and I hope the other officers catch on and add their own blogs.
