Hong Kong CyberU

Hong Kong CyberU (or HKCyberU; Chinese: 香港網上學府) was a virtual school developed by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) and PCCW in 2000.[1] It has later became the online arm of PolyU. HKCyberU adopts a ‘blended mode’ of study to combine the flexibility of web-based learning with personal guidance through face-to-face tutorials. It provides web-based programmes leading to academic awards (up to postgraduates level) offered by PolyU and other institutions in the Mainland and overseas.
