Japanese College via Mobile Phone

Its first cell phone lecture is called “Mysteries of the Pyramids,” which is a streaming PowerPoint presentation created for people who want to learn but can’t physically attend classes due to disabilities or work.
The university, 71 percent of which is owned by Softbank, a mobile service provider — has 1,850 students, and offers almost 100 courses, though only one is available for phones. Sakuji Yoshimura, head of Cyber University, says that the technology will allow those with jobs or who have disabilities greater access to education. “Our duty as educators is to respond to the needs of people who want to learn,” he said — then went on to add, “Even if the course is interrupted by an SMS.”
The class is free, but viewers must pay any extra mobile fees.
