UWI From Page 1 Three years in the making, the Open Campus was introduced by Vice Chan- cellor Nigel Harris at the recent Caricom heads of government conference in Anti- gua as part of the university’s 60th anni- versary celebrations. According to Mr. Howard Spencer, UWI Bahamas’ Coordinator, the campus will function as “a network of real and vir- tual nodes to deliver education and train- ing to anyone with access to the internet. It is designed to capitalize on advances in online technologies and on the university’s 50-plus websites to advance a more stu- dent-friendly basket of program for people who live beyond the immediate vicinity of our established campuses.” The Open Campus’ first academic year began August 1. The new virtual campus will have the same level of autonomy as other UWI campuses with its own aca- demic board, financial management, reg- istry, administration and student support systems. Using advanced technologies, the Open Campus will offer a wide range of courses and program to meet the needs of those Caribbean countries that do not have one of the university’s three primary cam- puses. Professor Spencer said, “The Open Campus will provide quality teaching and learning experiences, relevant research and community partnerships through a combi- nation of face-to-face, blended and online learning activities.” Currently, the Open Campus offers certificate program in journalism, e-gov- ernance, substance abuse treatment and gender studies as well as undergraduate program in education, accounting, eco- nomics and management. The cost of a three-credit course is $360 and a six-credit course is $720. This fee includes materials, exams, teleconferences and tutorials.
