Abstract

Amidst the modern technological revolution, which offers myriad benefits, a multitude of nations globally have adopted advanced technological tools to augment the efficacy of various policies and systems, particularly in the realm of higher education.  The virtual university, an institution marked by both inherent advantages and significant challenges, has been the focus of several international endeavors aimed at refining its performance. This aligns with the pressing demands for efficient outcomes in higher education and the necessities of contemporary job markets. A prime example of such innovative educational strategies is the approach adopted by Harvard Business School.
