Kyung Hee Cyber University has been selected for the Ministry of Education's '2026 Digital Education Environment Project,' a significant initiative aimed at advancing remote learning capabilities. The university will receive approximately 360 million won in government support to bolster its educational infrastructure. This funding will facilitate the development of a next-generation educational model, dubbed 'KHCU-NEXUS,' which integrates artificial intelligence, extended reality (XR), and learning data. The project's core objective is to create a seamless educational experience, connecting the entire learning process from design and practice to feedback and analysis. A key transformation will be the shift from traditional lecture-based online education to more experiential learning within virtual environments. XR-based practical training will be expanded across various fields, including construction safety, chemical safety, and health sciences, preparing students for the evolving demands of the digital age.
