A virtual university provides higher education programs through electronic media, typically the Internet. Some are bricks-and-mortar institutions that provide online learning as part of their extended university courses while others solely offer online courses. They are regarded as a form of distance education. The goal of virtual universities is to provide access to the part of the population who would not be able to attend a physical campus, for reasons such as distance—in which students live too far from a physical campus to attend regular classes; and the need for flexibility—some students need the flexibility to study at home whenever it is convenient for them to do so.

James Frederick Woell, born in Evergreen Park, Illinois in 1934, was an American metalsmith who specialized in found object assemblages in his metal work. He received a degree in economics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1956 and would later serve in the United States Army for two years. Upon returning to Illinois after his time in the military, Woell went back to Urbana-Champaign to pursue a BFA in art education. It was during this time that Woell was encouraged by his ceramics professor, Don Frith, to take a metals class at the school with metalsmith Robert Von Nuemann who, at the time, was considered to be one of the best in his field. Woell decided to take the class, and proceeded to enjoy it so much that he would attend the University of Wisconsin-Madison, something Neumann had recommended to him, and received his MFA in metalsmithing in 1962.
