University of The People May 22, 2009

  logo_t2UoPeople  is the first TUITION-FREE + NON- PROFIT +  ONLINE + UNIVERSITY,  dedicated to the global advancement and democratization of higher education.

UoPeople represents a new wave in global education. In fact, China View said that during the last two days, 27 students from 20 different Chinese cities and towns  registered with UoPeople.  Currently, about 200 students from over 51 countries are enrolled in the only two undergraduate programs the university offers — Computer Science and Business Administration.

Reshef’s mission, the Israeli entrepreneur behinds the idea of UoPeople,  is to create a free university for students all over the world. He  hopes to expand the program to include 15,000 students in four years.

 

UoPeople, which has the backing of the United Nations’ Global Alliance for Information and Communications Technology (GAID), incorporates a pedagogical model which draws on e-learning, social networking coupled with open-source technology.
