Cable companies support UCC distance education - Jamaica Gleaner
The University College of the Caribbean (UCC), through its Office of Distance Education and Global Learning (DEGL), says it has partnered with Jamaica Amalgamated Cable System (JACS) and Cornwall Communications cable companies in St. Catherine and St. James, respectively, to deliver the content of its distance education business administration degree programmes to UCC-registered students in the distance programme, beginning next March.... "So far we are very pleased with the result of the pilot test project", reports Everton Pryce, the UCC's director of distance education. "The aim is to see to what extent we are able to deliver high-quality content to our valued students in two specific rural locations, in the first instance via regular cable technology, to compensate for those prospective students in the distance in some areas of Jamaica who face signal challenges in respect of wireless technology," Pryce explained.
