For associate professor Jeremy Williams, who has been teaching in tertiary institutes for more than two decades, making the crossover from a classroom to an e-learning environment was not a difficult choice. ‘It was something that just happened one day, like a wake-up call, when I realised the way I was teaching the MBA courses was not authentic,’ he says. ‘Here I was waxing lyrical in a classroom on what happens in business environment, but it doesn’t really translate to what actually takes place in the marketplace.’
Universitas 21 Global was launched in September 2000 with headquarters in Singapore as a $90m joint venture between Universitas 21, Thompson Learning – a US-based educational publisher – and a global consortium of 16 universities. The online institute wants to tap into the vast potential demand for higher education, particularly in Asia. It also aims to break away from the elitist model of higher education by making tertiary education accessible to more people.
