A virtual university is an online learning institution that uses the Internet to deliver classes and seminars. Students can earn a certificate or degree if they have a computer system that meets the technological requirements of our virtual university.
Online learning has become immensely popular and is the most convenient and highly reliable institution, resulting in the creation of universities that exist solely online. It’s a very resourceful and highly reliable practice offering an online option now for students who wish to pursue a degree but cannot attend courses in a traditional classroom setting. Read on to learn more about our programs, as well as the technical and educational requirements for gaining such courses.
Virtual Universities are taking the education world by storm. The aim of virtual universities is to provide totally online course delivery using computer networking.
Nelson Mandela Virtual University is an institution that provides online learning as part of the extended university courses while others solely offer online courses, regarded as a form of distance education. Our goal is to provide access to the part of the population who would not be able to attend a physical campus, for reasons such as distance—in which students live too far from a physical campus to attend regular classes; and the need for flexibility—some students need the flexibility to study at home whenever it is convenient for them to do so. A virtual university provides higher education programs through electronic media, typically the Internet.
Program delivery in a virtual university is administered through Information and communications technology such as web pages, e-mail and other networked sources. Virtual universities can be organized through specific or multiple physical locations, with or without actual campuses to receive program delivery through technological media that is broadcast from another location where professors give televised lectures. Some organizations exist only as loosely tied combines of universities, institutes or departments that together provide several courses over the Internet, television or other media, that are separate and distinct from programs offered by the single institution outside of the combine. Others are individual organizations with a legal framework yet are called “virtual” because they appear only on the Internet, without a physical location aside from their administration units.
