From the article:
"Online education has, in recent years, emerged as one of the main methods of delivering higher education in the camps.  

Refugee camps lack infrastructure, have few resources and people are confined far away from traditional higher education institutions. Coupled with advances in technology and global education inter-connectivity, online education is touted as a viable solution for refugees that seek further learning.  

While there is great potential for online higher education to reach many people, caution needs to be paid if online education is to live up to the hype."
