Business Wire
Partnership will extend Global Learning
Exchange’s international network while supporting the
organizations’ shared mission of expanding access to higher
education in emerging markets around the world.
Sonic Foundry, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFO), the trusted leader in video
capture, management and streaming solutions, today announced that
its Global Learning Exchange™ (GLX) business, which provides
students around the world with affordable access to top-tier online
learning solutions coupled with local support resources, has
finalized a new partnership agreement with the International
Telematic University UNINETTUNO. Per the agreement, Global Learning
Exchange students will have immediate access to UNINETTUNO’s
extensive variety of affordable degree programs.
Born in 1992 from a Consortium of Public Universities and the
Italian Ministry of Education, UNINETTUNO became a fully accredited
online international university in 2005. Based in Rome, UNINETTUNO
attracts students from over 160 countries around the world with
highly affordable degrees in high-demand fields including
engineering, business management, and finance. UNINETTUNO operates
a unique and innovative e-learning model, including an online,
metaverse-based learning platform called the Island of Knowledge,
where students participate in coursework via self-created
avatars.
Sonic Foundry CEO, Joe Mozden, Jr., expressed enthusiasm about
the partnership, commenting, "The Global Learning Exchange team is
honored to join forces with UNINETTUNO. Our institutions are united
in their passion for student-centric innovation and with
UNINETTUNO's pivotal research in next-gen digital teaching
methodologies, we're poised to establish new standards of
excellence in online learning. Additionally, all students enrolling
in UNINETTUNO programs through Global Learning Exchange will have
access to a Virtual Internship in their area of study, equipping
them with tangible, real-world experiences that will enhance their
employability at home and around the world. We can’t wait to
introduce prospective students to the opportunities that are now
available to them via our partnership with UNINETTUNO."
UNINETTUNO Rector and founder Professor Maria Amato Garito
added, "We are very happy to announce our partnership with GLX, a
significant step in our mission to democratize access to
high-quality education. This collaboration aims to make higher
education accessible to young people from emerging countries, while
equipping them with the tools needed to address the challenges of
the global job market. This initiative is even more relevant in the
current context, characterized by the youth migration from Africa
to Europe and in general from emerging countries to the West.
Together with GLX, we aim to support young talents in their home
countries, enabling them to realize their potential and contribute
to the progress and development of their nations.”
Global Learning Exchange launched its inaugural program in the
Bahamas in 2022 and is currently focused on expanding into African
markets, as reflected by the August launch of new GLX hubs in South
Africa and Nigeria.
