The Global Access Asia (GAA), an outcome of the Asian University Presidents Forum (AUPF), is an international learning and teaching opportunity through both online Credit and Non-credit based courses. It kicked off its service following an opening ceremony at Dongseo University (DSU) in Busan, South Korea from August 23 to 25, 2015. Mr. Jekuk Chang, President of DSU welcomed university leaders from around the Asia.
GAA is an online courseware platform, similar to the massive open online course service in the United States, commonly known as MOOC, which pursues unlimited participation and open access through the web. In many countries, universities and even governments have seen MOOC as a way to widely distribute each university’s course load.
In GAA, each participating university offers courses online, which allow students at other school to take lectures for free and earn academic credit. The courses available include credit and noncredit courses. Courses for credit have 15-week curriculums, and students may earn two academic credits for each course completed. All lectures are conducted in English.
