OUK is a virtual university offering programmes online using Moodle Learning Management System (LMS). Students asynchronously access high quality interactive courseware at their own time and pace. However, a few synchronous lectures and tutorials can be offered at flexible time slots to students.
The flexibility of open learning allows students to learn at their own time and place. It is attractive and convenient, especially for those who are occupied in regular employment or work.
The university aims to address the pressing issue of limited capacity in traditional universities by employing innovative teaching and learning methodologies, including online and distance education.
