AYESHA:
To get ahead it’s hugely important to be prepared. Planning your future in an uncertain world may seem harder than ever. But the OU designed FutureYOU will help you do just that.
FutureYOU is an online tool that helps you plan your personal development, plan your study journey, and review your progress. Here are some of the ways that FutureYOU can help you.
The reflection area helps to highlight the employability skills and attributes to develop as you study your own module. Identify and plan prompts you to identify the learning you gain from your experience in the world and reflect on and draw learning from these experiences.
The action and record area introduces learning logs to help keep you on track.
You will build up an invaluable set of resources as you move towards your personal, academic and professional goals.
It’s an ongoing process of reviewing and reflecting.
