The Higher Education Commission (HEC)’s higher education development in Pakistan (HEDP) project hosted the second meeting of a consortium of 11 universities at the National University of Sciences and Technology (Nust) to develop online courses as a part of the new undergraduate core curriculum nationwide. The consortium is formulated based on the expertise of these universities in developing and delivering quality online learning platforms. The participating universities include the Aga Khan University, and the courses will allow students to learn in their own time. The universities will contribute courses on a platform called PakistanEdX by offering multilingual options in five categories of arts and humanities, social sciences, quantitative skills, natural sciences and writing.
