The effect of technological enhancement on the world’s shifting trends is evident through the constant digitalisation of strategic and methodological planning of all sectors; including education. Hailing from the digital revolution that took place over decades, online universities have now become the new normal across the world.
Schools, colleges, and universities have factored in the crucial element of technology amidst their practical and theoretical education practices.
Graana.com, Pakistan’s smartest property portal, brings you a comprehensive list of high-ranking universities that have shifted their course of teaching to online methods, and are now serving as the best online universities in the world.
Originally, these were initiated for students who wanted to opt for distance learning.
This adaptation to distance and online learning came popularly into practice to cater to those brilliant students who were unable to travel cross-country. Their reasons for online distance education mainly average out as finance, or part-time jobs to meet ends.
Meaning, they cannot make the time for a full-time degree alongside work, as well as meeting the travel and living expenses of a university.
Instead, they enroll in online programs and pay academic dues, and complete all exams without ever setting foot on campus.
Apart from this demand, online universities in the world also sprouted as a result of Covid-19, when social distancing was the only mode of survival. Even though these started long before the pandemic, they were quite a few in number and were not regarded as equally important.
