The Non-Classical Approach is the distance education and learning through indirect transfer of information or the on-line education service delivered through the RDLP's two major Programs:

The RDLP provides a global framework which brings first rate educational resources to millions of learners and teachers worldwide in the Arab Region, with maximum emphasis on flexibility, tailoring and interaction thus formulating a global learning environment through integration of evolving communication technologies with the existing education infrastructure and resources in the region. 

The RDLP dissolves the geographical barriers through the utilization of modern communications and information technology towards the delivery of a universal archive of top notch educational resources offering academic (credit) and professional (non-credit) degrees.

The primary aim of the program is to make global quality educational archives accessible to learners in the Arab Region. It offers them the opportunity to access both academic degree programs through the Global Campus Program,  and professional-training courses through LearnNet,  from highly esteemed schools, without having to travel or interrupt their normal working cycle.

The Educational Services offered through RDLP comprise consultation services, technical services, development of courseware into web-based format, educational security system and template designs, as well as all components of the educational service delivery.  Some points of concern have been encountered which had required immediate resolution.

The Global Campus involves the development and delivery of tailored academic Internet web-based postgraduate first-rate educational Programs to a worldwide student pool.

The Global Campus entails a framework that allows worldwide learners to utilize a universal pool of educational courseware resources in multidisciplinary areas. It links universities, professors and students through its global platform, allowing them to customize their learning needs and requirements.

The basic concept of the Global Campus involves the appropriate utilization of the emerging Internet, Multimedia and World Wide Web technologies and using state-of-the-art information technology in order to bring first class education to learners to the Arab Region and worldwide.

LearnNet  involves  utilizing videoconferencing based communication tools and techniques to deliver education and professional development to participating  Arab countries.   It will help training the trainers, educators and professionals on the advanced tools and techniques of information technology using the advanced communication and networking facilities.

LearnNet provides the platform for the delivery of courses acquired and certified by topnotch universities and institutions. The network aims to help pool resources, build capacities, set-up the needed communication and networking infrastructure as well as develop/acquire the course content which will be delivered through the network. LearnNet connects instructors and students on-line using state-of-the art technology.
