With SCONUL access still closed there will likely not be any Helpdesk updates from me this coming academic year.
I will be building a home office though.

But what if that makes him feel at home in his home learning environment and builds a connection to his previous one in the library?

I will have a nice home study for OU. It will mostly be filled with toys, comics and books.

Lots of distractions from the study then?

With the SCONUL Access Scheme suspended due to COVID, I can still not go to a library for study so we have a NEW LOCATION: The blue room.

Ralph is learning about paradoxes in philosophy and his mind is exploding. Apparently, motion, change, space and time MAY NOT EXIST.

Does the blue Room have a help desk?

Yes. I sit at it.
The new chair comes on Sunday.

As a user of the library and the help desk monitor, will you be issuing twenty-minute help desk closing warnings to yourself?

I would. Just to be on the safe side. You wouldn't want to get caught out.

The start of the new OU course does not go well. I'm not taking any of it in and scored a massive 10% when doing the 'check your understanding' quiz. Never done that badly. Has my brain atrophied so much after 6 months of lockdown/furlough.
The endless pages about the slime monster made no fudging sense. Yes there really is a chapter about a slime monster. And an additional reading about it. And a journal article.

Of course this raises the question of whether your seated discomfort is due to a) your inhuman tallness, or b) your lockdown spread.

Or c) both.
