Chronicle of Higher Education : South Korea has 17 colleges that offer courses solely online—and not just to Koreans.

Given that South Korea has one of the world’s best internet infrastructures, the challenges faced by Hanyang Cyber University in Seoul and the other online colleges are more mundane. To attract international students, the colleges need to offer lectures in English and to be mindful that people in other countries don’t have access to the high bandwidths available in South Korea.
