I’ve been working on a project to see if OU students would like to receive text alerts from the OU. It’s currently a pilot service aimed at students studying DSE212 — Exploring Psychology — on the October 2007 presentation. The messages that you receive from ‘OPEN-TEXTS’ will be tailored to your study needs. So, for […]

I’d like a little feedback on the following critical issue, if you have time. The ‘breadcrumb’ navigation is all over the place. That’s because MyStuff is by nature ‘all over the place’.
