Kuala
Lumpur: The first virtual Islamic university, combining
285 Islamic universities from 51 countries under the Organization
of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), will be set up next year.
International Islamic University of Malaysia Rector Prof Dr. Zaleha
Kamaruddin said the university, to be managed by the Federation of
Universities of the Islamic World (FUIW), would provide easy
educational platform to the global Islamic community.
"This is a
way to spread knowledge to Muslims worldwide, requiring them to
only interact online, without having to go abroad to study at any
of the Islamic universities," she told reporters after the fourth FUIW Virtual Islamic University Board of Trustees meeting here
yesterday.
She said, learning would be conducted online through video
conferencing and virtual libraries that allowed students to obtain
material from all universities.
Among universities involved in the
project are the University of Sharjah, Islamic University in
Uganda, Kuwait University, Azerbaijan State Economic University
and the University of Sheikh Anta Diop-Senegal.
