This is one example of a course at one of our member institutions: American University of Sovereign Nations (AUSN). Enrolled Students of AUSN receive the AUSN Video lecture Archive and Attendance Sheet to record which videos they have watched.

AUSN as an intellectual forum for intercultural dialogue upholds the value of academic freedom for all professors and students, and the views expressed in the videos are not those of AUSN.

The above videos are a selection of the total video archive of AUSN that supplements the contact hours provided by in-person lectures, group skype sessions, and other supervised contact at AUSN.

Anyone can request to try out a live AUSN class for free by writing to Dr. Darryl Macer, Provost, AUSN; Email: provost@ausn.info
