Open Campus: An Open Buddhist Studies E-Learning Platform by University of the West

by Danny Fisher

University of the West, the Buddhist-inspired institution from which I am earning my doctorate in Buddhist Studies, has announced the launch of a really cool new e-learning platform: Open Campus. This is a completely free resource for all students of Buddhism with a computer. With the site, you can:

  • sample courses in Buddhist studies offered by UWest;
  • view video of special guest lecturers (including Lewis Lancaster, Robert Buswell, Robert H. Sharf, and others) from the world of Buddhist scholarship;
  • follow UWest research groups;
  • look for frequent video updates on special topics related to Buddhism.Check out Open Campus online at: http://www.uwest.edu/opencampus.
