0:01

A university for the 21st Century

0:03

Without barriers

0:05

Wherever you are

0:08

Any time of the day

0:14

Throughout history, students used to have to leave home to go to university.

0:19

The big cities in the world became the centres for training and teaching.

0:24

But all this changed with the arrival of the Internet.

0:28

As new technology developed, ‘going’ to university became optional

0:32

as it was no longer necessary to leave your home to receive training.

0:37

The Internet has meant geographical barriers are now non-existent.

0:41

So now anyone with an Internet connection can go to college.

0:48

Teachers and students communicate online and the university comes to you.

0:55

All the written material is uploaded and can be seen as often as needed.

1:01

Every day at the VIU we travel to where our students are.

1:06

Our training programmes are designed with flexibility in mind,

1:11

so you can combine your studies with your other professional or leisure activities.

1:15

The teaching videos are recorded by experts who explore the course contents.

1:21

The e-learning documents are interactive and contain all the course material.

1:27

Studying online means you have limtless access...

1:30

to all the material, videoconferences, supporting videos.

1:35

and all the topic areas, with lots of documents,

1:40

as well as using the VIU online archives

1:44

with many interesting books you can consult.

1:48

At the interactive videoconferences students can ask the teacher questions

1:53

and clear up any doubts they might have.

1:56

Students raise their hands just like in a normal class and can ask anything.

2:02

They also do group work with other students and present group projects,

2:07

with the teacher always on hand to help. The interaction is direct and daily, and it works.

2:17

I was a bit skeptical at first because I had worked at a regular university before,

2:21

where my classes were face to face. Here you see the students on a computer screen.

2:27

I wasn’t sure how the classes would be, but I’ve felt great since the first day.

2:32

There is so much interaction, it feels like they’re actually there with you.

2:37

In fact they interact more than in a normal class. I have a great relationship with them all.

2:42

I can follow their daily progress, which is difficult at a normal university.

2:47

I love online teaching – it’s fun and enjoyable. I wouldn’t go back for anything.

2:56

The potential of online teaching, added to the great advantage of the VIU

3:02

interactive audiovisual technology, makes premium teaching now possible.

3:07

Experts and professionals from around the world offer a wide variety of material

3:11

which smashes down all physical and language barriers.

3:15

In the past there was only one way to receive university instruction.

3:21

Students were first attracted by a university and then they had to physically go there.

3:26

Now there is a new tool, which the VIU has had for some time,

3:32

which allows teachers to get right inside a student’s home.

3:37

It doesn’t matter where the student lives. And that’s just for starters.

3:42

We gather the most important professors for our degrees and masters

3:49

from all around the world and help them teach their vast knowledge to students

3:54

using Valencian International University technology.

3:57

They reach students in their homes, wherever that may be in the world.

4:03

We are the 21st Century University.

4:07

Real-time and high-tech. 100% online and audiovisual.

4:10

Wherever you are. The VIU.
