We are a nonprofit organization founded and run by educators. Our decades of experience in classrooms mean we understand what it takes to create and teach courses that meet the highest standards of educational design and facilitation. Our expertise in education technology pushes us to continually innovate and reimagine best practices in learning.  

We created GOA to reimagine learning and empower students and educators to thrive in a globally networked society. By providing interactive courses, meaningful partnership, and innovative thinking, we help you offer your students the best possible education. 

GOA acts as a partner to your school. We provide courses and resources, and you choose how to integrate them into your curriculum. Students enroll in GOA courses through you, the way they would register for any other course. You set your own structures and policies for GOA courses, including how they appear on your transcripts and the type of credit granted. It’s an easy way for you to quickly expand and elevate your academic offerings without affecting full-time employees.  

GOA is also a leading resource for professional learning as educators navigate a rapidly shifting field and emerging educational trends. We build global communities of practice, bringing together teachers from different countries, systems, and cultures so that they can learn from and with each other. With a range of formats and offerings, from on-demand online courses to custom-designed in-person workshops, professional learning with GOA will help you meet your goals on your schedule.
