Case StudySusanne Lockie is a housewife with three children. She has completed her Open University (OU) degree that she managed to complete with the use of ICT.
Instead of physically attending classes, OU in the United Kingdom has a different approach, enabling stay-home mothers like Susanne to do her degree online. Susanne agrees that she was able to study to a high level due to the flexibility of the online degree course. Susanne Lockie is one of the many OU graduates, of which employers have been supportive of OU study, knowing full well that OU students are committed and determined. This means that employers accept these students, and job opportunities would be equivalent to that of those students that graduated from an ordinary university. This case study is based on the online article "Open University learning is a joy". |
"I've finished my Open degree now, but I need to spend more time with my parents at the moment, so I'm taking a year out before starting on honours." |
