USEFUL TIPS

• There is a lot of information on your module website. So, it will take a few minutes for the app to load the first time you use it. Use a Wi-Fi connection for your first use. As the app caches some information, it will get quicker.

• Download learning materials individually and batch download by week using Course downloads. Return to the Planner, to access downloaded materials. If you need to free space, delete them on Course downloads.

• The Planner of the app remembers the week you were studying last time. So, you can continue studying easily. You can always navigate to the current week to keep track of the key dates.

• OU Study App and your module website are synced. As you tick completed resources or save an answer, both the module website and the app are updated.

• Some activities are not available in the app. You will be directed to your browser to use the mobile version of the module website.
