University 18

University18 is a large scale e-education venture based out of India.

University18 works with Indian Universities in a Public – Private Partnership, developing and delivering Accredited Degree and Diploma Programs to the Indian Learner around the Nation.

University18's Programs are all structured around a web based e-education platform, one that has both asynchronous and synchronous components - - The Learning Management System, and a Virtual Classroom System. Regular Online sessions with Professors from some of the most prestigious Institutions around the Nation , act to bridge the gap between Full time classroom learning and Distance Learning. Classroom interaction, as well as the mentoring a classroom lecture (online) can provide both aid the effort an adult learner makes and the challenges she faces by re entering the formal education system after a break.

The Re.Vica Project of the European Commission, describes U18 thus - “ University18, a nonprofit private-sector initiative (currently in partnership with the Karnataka State Open University), represents a significant development in the region which may well have great impact in the near future. “

U18 has a global footprint, with thousands of students spread across five continents, and exam centers outside India as well.
