Katholieke Hogeschool Zuid-West-Vlaanderen
The Katholieke Hogeschool Zuid-West-Vlaanderen (KATHO) is a university college that supports e-learning through its Open Hoger Onderwijs subdivision and through the LMS Toledo which also incorporates Blackboard and which is being used in the whole K.U.Leuven Association of which this HEI is a member.
KATHO has as its baseline “Enjoy Lifelong Learning Worldwide”. Its core business is to ensure higher education for students at bachelor level (industrial sciences, agro-biotechnology, business studies, teacher training, nursing and midwifery, social sciences) with bridges to master degrees.
KATHO is “open” to the world. We work closely together with the very export-oriented local and regional “enterprises” in the broadest sense.
The institution’s main office is in Kortrijk, Belgium. Other campuses are located in Roeselare, Tielt and Torhout.
KATHO has approximately 7.000 students and 520 staff members.

KATHO is a member of the K.U.Leuven Association, which is also a case study on this wiki.
