"This is a hybrid system of learning, which includes traditional learning through workshops, seminars, virtual classroom environment, e-learning and learning with the use of mobile phones," says Lakshman Dissanayake, the former head of the university's graduate studies department who initiated the program.
The first 'mLearning' course is a diploma in marketing.
