A few weeks ago he graduated from a university that he didn't pay a penny for. He didn't even have to show up for lectures. And when his wife gave birth to twins shortly after he started his course in business management, it was no problem for him to take six months off to help take care of them. He was attending the University of the People (UoPeople), one of a growing number of online universities which are opening new doors to people, particularly in the developing world. "I have always dreamt about having a degree but I didn't think I ever would," the 34-year-old Jordanian told the BBC.
