Open Student helps students at the Open University organize their degree.
The app was built out of a real need: to study online, work while you're at it, keep track of several courses at the same time, remember assignments and deadlines, and understand at any moment what needs to be done next.
Instead of scattering your studies among Excel, notes, reminders, and WhatsApp groups, Open Student concentrates the important things in one clear and convenient place.
What can you do with Open Student?
• Manage your courses in one place
• Track assignments and deadlines
• See what awaits you this week
• Plan the semester in an organized way
• Understand where you stand during your degree
• Reduce the hustle and bustle around studies, work, and personal life
The app is based on the method I described in my popular blog post on how to work full-time while earning a degree in computer science, and on feedback I received from dozens of students who studied with this method.
Open Student is especially suitable for students at the Open University who study remotely, combine work with studies, or want more control over their semester.
This is a first version, so I would be very happy to receive feedback, ideas and reports of things that are not working properly.
Open Student is an independent application and is not an official application of the Open University.
