The digital age is changing everything in our lives, from the way we communicate, entertain ourselves and even buy groceries. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the digital is now revolutionizing our traditional ways of learning. Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) allow for many students in different regions to learn a variety of subjects at the same time. Tamkang University is offering three courses using this new media platform: E-calligraphy, Internet Items and Concepts and the Principles of Accounting. The courses can be applied for starting from October 27th in the “Share Course” section at link http://www.sharecourse.net/sharecourse/unit/tku .

Director of the Distance Education Development Section, Ying-hong Wang, stated, “Since 2002 this university has established an online campus, paving the way for the many resources we use for our long-distance education program. Through designing these programs for exchanges with sister universities, TKU has developed a professional team with modern information-oriented capabilities.
