				| Does anyone know if any universities in Japan are offering any EFL course to their students online? |  |

				| Thank you, MC. 
 Just to clarify for everyone, I am not talking about online TEFL courses for teachers trying to get certified. I am talking about English classes for Japanese university students. If you know of any, what kind of course? Writing, elective, etc.?

				| Are you talking about a full, credit-earning online course with no classroom component, or are you talking about courses which have an online presence using VLE software like Moodle, Blackboard, etc...? |  |

				| Well, either one I guess, but please distinguish the extent of the on-campus portion. I am not very familiar with the hybrid types. |  |

				| To put it in simple terms, do you want to take classes that make you go to a campus every week? |  |

				| If it was every week, then that would not really be online enough. If it was just for tests, then OK. |  |
