AIU's
Open Access Initiative: Open Courses / Free Courses
Sharing knowledge is a vital component in the
growth and advancement of our society in a sustainable
and responsible way. In order to contribute, Atlantic
International University is implementing an "Open
Access" Initiative with academic work, select
courses, scientific research, projects, and other
scholarly work by students, faculty, and other
contributors seeking increased access to Higher
Education by making learning materials and research
Publicly Accessible. The primary goal of this
page is to present AIU's open courses to the world.
All courses on this page are free and open to
the public without any requirements for registration
or payment. These online courses are intended
to be easily taken independently, without supervision
or guidance at a pace defined by the user. Each
open course includes all necessary video conferences,
lectures, course materials, and even tests. Tests
are offered as a tool for the user at the end
of each lesson to verify that learning, retention
and comprehension of the material presented have
occurred. However, the tests are optional and
the full online course content and lessons are
available at once to users.
Through Open Access, AIU and other leading institutions
through out the world are tearing down the barriers
to access and use research literature and academic
materials. Our organization is interested in the
dissemination of advances in scientific research
fundamental to the proper operation of a modern
society, in terms of community awareness, empowerment,
health and wellness, sustainable development,
economic advancement, and optimal functioning
of health, education and other vital services.
AIU’s Mission
and Vision is consistent with the vision expressed
in the Budapest Open Access Initiative and Berlin
Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the
Sciences and Humanities. Some selected Student
Publications are also available for this purpose:
