Welcome to the Student Hub Live Archive

The Student Hub Live Archive is the Open University’s repository of recorded interactive sessions hosted by OU tutors. The sessions are non-module-specific or faculty-aligned and aim to facilitate student success and foster academic community by providing a range of events to support students at any level throughout their entire student journey.

The recordings include study skills workshops, community events, and plenty of ideas, best practices, tips, tools and resources that can be very helpful, and you'll get to hear both from guest experts and fellow students.

The archive also features the SHL Podcast, with 17 episodes produced and presented by OU PhD student Heidi, who has also been a co-presenter on our live shows, and OU alumnus Scott. Along with special guests, Heidi and Scott chat about their own experiences of studying, why they started, what they loved, the challenges they faced and how studying changed their lives.

All recordings will remain available here and are accessible for all OU students and colleagues until at least August 2028.
