A geography of virtual universities in Korea
Information and communication technologies have relaxed time-honored practices of space-time synchronization in higher education, allowing even a new type of open universities, namely virtual universities. Seventeen virtual universities and colleges have been established in Korea since 2001. This pa...

Seventeen virtual universities and colleges have been established in Korea since 2001.

Les technologies d’Information communication ont un effet certain sur la façon dont les pratiques de formation en matière d’enseignement supérieur, devenues asynchrones, permettent finalement l’apparition d’un nouveau type d’universités ouvertes qualifiées parfois d’universités virtuelles. Dix-sept universités virtuelles ont été créées en Corée depuis 2001. Ce papier a pour ambition de voir dans quelle mesure ces nouvelles offres de formation ont modifié la donne au sein de l’enseignement supérieur coréen. Séoul, la capitale, enregistre le plus grand nombre d’universités virtuelles et conséquemment « d’étudiants virtuels ». En définitive, la géographie de l’enseignement à distance en Corée semble être largement conditionnée par des données clairement géographiques et spatiales. |
