About the DLC

The American University of Cyprus Distance Learning Center was founded in January 2006 to plan and coordinate the university’s e-learning efforts. The center’s goal can be summarized as “Education, Anywhere, Anytime...”. This can only be achieved through the right combination of education and technology.

Moodle, the e-Learning Portal, opened to the public in March 2006 is a direct result of the center’s e-Learning strategy. We currently have 5000 registered on line users with 220 courses. The courses are a mixture of full on-line and blended.

At Girne American University we take full advantage of the fact that we are entering a new phase of digital forms of learning; where students are networking with each other and electronic resources, often on the move using mobile technologies. The dynamic web-site offers a highly interactive tool which empowers the academia to provide quality learning opportunities using Blended Teaching and Learning styles.

Students are able to access that content anywhere, anytime, giving them a chance to study at their own pace. They can also contact their tutors and other students through the Moodle’s online conferencing system, tutorials and informal study groups.

The web site can be accessed by using the following address:
