Shanghai Television University (上海电视大学) is an open university conducting distance education based on telecommunication, broadcasting & television, and computer and other technology based subject courses. It is one of the regional Radio and Television universities across China, but one of the best known. It was established in 1960.
SUTV began in the 1960s using television to improve access to education and now uses ICTs to provide the same service to Shanghai’s 19 million inhabitants. To adapt to the country’s rapid growth the university launched the project Turning the Digital Divide into Digital Opportunity.
“Because of the development of the country we had an urgent need for highly qualified talent or to retrain the huge workforce,” said Professor Zheng who is president of STUV. “We also wanted to ensure that the elderly could access lifelong learning programmes.”
Their virtual campus now offers 8 learning platforms serving different groups which include underdeveloped and disadvantaged communities, 400 rural schools, 4 million immigrants and the elderly. In 2008 STUV was named as a laureate for the UNESCO King Hamad Bin Isa Al Khalifa Prize for the Use of Information and Communication and Technologies in Education.

The wikipedia article on Shanghai Television University is rather minimal.
