Has anyone done a course with Oscail distance learning? I've just signed up for the BSc in Information Technology...

There's lots of threads on Oscail if you have a look in this forum.
Most people agree that the I.T. degree from Oscail is very out-dated and a bit of a waste of time.

I've studied Psychology and while Ok Oscail is a bit behind the Open University in terms of standard and recognition. Yeah the I.T. course is considered one of it's weaker elements. I think Oscail could even cease to exist in a few years without a revamp as numbers are falling like a stone.
