Thailand's proposed cyber university could help the disadvantaged get an education - SASIWIMON BOONRUANG, Bangkok Post
The Office of the Commission on Higher Education has recently proposed the "Thailand Cyber University," a government initiative to increase education opportunities by providing low cost, life-long education to students and the general public online. While many universities in Thailand already offer online courses, they are generally offered to their own students. Few live up to the real potential of e-learning by making them available to anyone at anytime and from any location. They also follow their own procedures rather than having a common system and standards. Dr Anuchai Theeraroungchaisri, a committee member of the Thailand Cyber University project, said providing a system that allowed for courses to be transferred or learned across different institutions was difficult. However, that's the goal of the Thailand Cyber University (TCU), which is based on collaboration among the universities. A central concept is that universities can share the e-courseware of others.
