Kim Il-sung University is not alone. A distance learning course first became available at the Kim Chaek University of Technology, and now many universities across North Korea, including Pyongyang University of Architecture and Pyongyang Jang Chol Gu University of Commerce, offer degree courses online, according to a North Korean propaganda website, DPRK Today. Students in North Korea even can take university courses via their mobile phones, DPRK Today claimed. Government organizations and local authorities are also taking similar steps. In March the government opened a new website dubbed “Pyongyang Taekkyeon,” which offers real-time distance lectures on taekwondo.
