High quality accredited courses to be made accessible to a wider pool of students
The UAE Ministry of Education and the Abdulla Al Ghurair Foundation for Education have launched the University Consortium for Quality Online Learning (UCQOL), a new initiative that aims to support select UAE universities in developing accredited online university programmes and launch them by 2022.
In a joint virtual meeting co-organised by the Ministry of Education and the Abdulla Al Ghurair Foundation for Education, the two entities announced the launch of two-year public private partnership intent on making high quality accredited online programmes accessible to a wider pool of students in the UAE and beyond, increasing collaboration among universities in the UAE and building their capacities in the field of online learning.
The initiative aims to support UAE universities committed to develop and deliver high-quality accredited programmes online by 2022. The Abdulla Al Ghurair Foundation for Education will provide UCQOL member universities with various forms of support including structured needs assessments, faculty and instructional designer training, and grants to support the design and delivery of their online programmes. In addition, UCQOL will serve as a UAE-based professional learning community to exchange, collaborate and advocate jointly on the issue of online learning.
