BYU making the world its campus through Internet

Summarized by Janus Wilkinson

BYU making the world its campus through Internet
(BYU) Daily Universe 19May99 C4
By Joshua Deere: NewsNet Staff Writer

BYU's President Bateman is making a dream a reality with respect to BYU becoming a virtual university.

President Bateman recently said that on-campus education will be streamllined over time with the aid of technology.

Bateman's plan includes using the internet to improve on-campus classes and to offer courses worldwide. Bateman also said that the school's goal in 1998 was to have 50 courses on the Internet and has a goal of more than 300 within the next five years.

This is different from the Division of Continuing Study which includes all forms of off-campus courses including the independent study program. Currently, this program services approximately 40,000 people around the world.

On-line courses can be accessed at www.byu.edu/online.
