Mobile teaches

Japan has long been one step ahead of the planet as far as mobile communications is concerned: mobile payments, video calls, convenient orientation in the urban jungle and many other things that are still seen as exotic for the Western world have already become familiar in the Land of the Rising Sun commonplace. Virtual reality, which is constantly connected with you through a pocket electronic "combine", wherever you are, absorbs more and more of what yesterday required your live participation. Such a fate befell education. Not so long ago, we were amazed that becoming a university diploma can only be done on the site of our alma mater and not leaving your home, and today you can “attend classes” at a college anywhere.

The program of secondary education through the screen of a mobile phone launched by Cyber ​​University - the only fully online educational institution in Japan that is accredited to be awarded the bachelor's degree. Learning materials are available as a streaming presentation, where text and illustrations occupy most of the screen, with a live recording of a real lecture from a live teacher in a corner.

The service is currently available only to subscribers of the Softbank operator, and for free. Now the training program includes about 100 courses to choose from, among which are online journalism, history, literature and others. Cyber ​​University is currently studying for just under 2,000 students, the first set took place this year.
