Based on these trends, decision makers at TAU took the initiative to develop and implement their novel strategy,
combining information and communication technologies with the processes of teaching and learning in higher
education. Subsequently, in order to meet goals for the next decade, the university should focus on four main areas:
continuing the policy of Web development courses (Virtual TAU); developing online courses for enrolled TAU
students (TAU Online), combining video classes, course materials and assignments; developing fully online courses
for the general public (Open TAU); and using mobile technologies in teaching online (TAUbiquitous) to enable the
accessibility of teaching from anywhere and at anytime. In order to succeed in implementing this strategy, utilization
and long-term commitment is required by all relevant partners: university leaders, managers and academic staff.
