Cyber universities make distance learning less remote

Filed under:

Students will be able to graduate from university without ever attending a lecture or even seeing their teachers in the flesh since the new Cyber University, headquartered in Fukuoka, opened its doors last April.

The school is the latest addition to a growing number of educational institutions taking advantage of new technology to offer distance learning tailored to keep students involved and reduce drop-out rates.

Cyber University, with the Faculty of World Heritage and Faculty of Information Technology and Business, is operated by a subsidiary of Softbank Corp. and is headed by well-known Egyptologist Sakuji Yoshimura. Each faculty takes 600 students.
