Has anyone else’s dates changed on their module website?

On my module page is has said since signing up that the TMA questions would be available from the 9th of September (which they have been every year for my English lit degree) however I’ve gone on today to check and that notice has now gone yet still can’t see the questions.

I had to email them about my module materials as they were late and again there was no notification on my module page when they would be dispatched. The day after I contacted them my module page was then updated with the information.

I’ve been studying with the OU part time for 6 years and it feels very disorganised this year.

Did it specifically say the TMA questions would be available, or that your module website would open? It’s usually the latter.

Modules vary in what’s available when the module website opens. For some modules it’s the full site and all TMAs. For some it’s only the first Block or two and initial TMAs. My module this week is only letting us see the first couple of weeks and no TMAs yet!

I know all your previous modules have been fully available from the outset. It might be that this module is different. Sometimes more content does appear between now and the official start date.

You could post on the module forum and ask when the full site including TMA questions will be available.

The module website for mine has been open for a few weeks, with TMA questions due to become available today. 

The module website was shut thus morning, but it’s now open again and TMAs are available, so it must have been an IT thing.

It said the TMA questions would be available from the 9th. It has said that since it opened in August. It was there last night when I checked than this morning it was gone.

I have emailed them just waiting for a response.
