The abbreviate term is WUN, is a partnership of 16 research-led universities from Europe, North America, South East Asia and Australia. Some goals of WUM are:

  • Enhancing the learning experience and internationalizes curricula through the development of Elearning theory, practice and programs.
  • WUN organises regular online seminars which are available to staff and students at member universities. Seminars are delivered by leading academics from the membership with themes and topics ranging across the research spectrum.

For these seminars they use several tools like:

  • Videoconferencing.
  • Webcasts.
  • Podcasts.
  • Desktop Video Conferencing.


Members of the WUN are working together to enhance the learning experience and internationalize curricula through the development of eLearning programs as well as advancing theory and practice in this area.

WUN members have developed a range of ’’collaboratively delivered eLearning programs’’ that take advantage of expertise at two or more institutions within WUN: so whilst you get a degree from your chosen university, you have options to take modules/units of study from another university in WUN.
