Université Virtuelle de Tunis

The Université Virtuelle de Tunis (UVT) was established in 2002 as a government initiative and forms the country's tenth public university. The English name (on its web site) is Virtual University of Tunisia.

The Virtual University of Tunisia provides open and distance education using multimedia technologies, and is an attempt to co-ordinate ICT in higher education across the country, provide additional student places (public higher education enrolments alone have risen five-fold over the past 15 years), and widen participation.

The UVT offers a growing number of its own awards, but is also working with other Tunisian universities to spread good practice in use of ICT for teaching and learning.
