Japanese already use cell phones to shop, read novels, exchange e-mail, search for restaurants and take video clips. Now, they can take a university course.
Cyber University, the nation’s only university to offer all classes only on the Internet, began offering a class on mobile phones Wednesday on the mysteries of the pyramids. This makes them afford to held a university course via internet. Unlike the other classes, the one on cell phones will be available to the public for free, but the viewers must pay phone fees.
“The university provides educational opportunities for people who find it hard to attend real-life universities, including those with jobs and those who are sick or have disabilities”, Sakuji Yoshimura, heads Cyber University said.
The virtual campus is 71 percent owned by Softbank Corp., a major Japanese mobile carrier, which also has broadband operations and offers online gaming, shopping and electronic stock trading services.
