UWI launches 'Open Campus' for Online Learning - Nassau Guardian
The University of the West Indies launched its Open Campus in August, making higher education available over the Internet to anyone with a high school certificate in The Bahamas and 11 other Caribbean nations. Three years in the making, the Open Campus was introduced by Vice Chancellor Nigel Harris at the recent Caricom heads of government conference in Antigua as part of the university's 60th anniversary celebrations. According to UWI Bahamas Coordinator Howard Spencer, the campus will function as "a network of real and virtual nodes to deliver education and training to anyone with access to the internet. It is designed to capitalise on advances in online technologies and on the university's 50-plus websites to advance a more student-friendly basket of programmes for people who live beyond the immediate vicinity of our established campuses."
