NJIT doing its part to bridge the digital divide
New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) is doing its part to bridge the digital divide between the West and the developing world: students in 14 sub-Saharan African countries are benefiting from NJIT courses without leaving their continent, thanks to NJIT's collaboration with the African Virtual University (AVU). ... NJIT now offers an Information Technology Master's Certificate to students at 21 universities in 11 sub-Saharan African countries. Students must take six non-credit, distance-learning courses to earn the master's certificate. The courses run an average of 30 hours each, and most students take two classes during a 10-week semester. The online classroom uses a variety of teaching methods, including on-line course material, video lectures on CD-ROM, real-time lectures, textbooks, email and on-line chat forums.
