YEREVAN, NOYAN TAPAN: On June 30, the participants of the “Ari Toun” (Come Home) program visited the French University of Armenia. University rector Joëlle le Morzelec acquainted them with the various departments, the areas of specialization offered by the university, as well as the terms of admission and enrollment. 

In the afternoon, Yervant Zorian, director of the AGBU Armenian Virtual College (AVC) program, made a presentation to the participants on the possibilities of this educational system and its curriculum. The goal of AVC is to help students obtain basic knowledge of Armenological topics by means of online education. By means of synchronous and asynchronous communication, the students are able to procure new knowledge by organizing their time properly, as well as communicating directly with their online teacher and classmates.
