ABSTRACT
Social Development was launched at the Copenhagen United Nation (UN) summit, 1995, with Sustainable Development being the follow-up in Johannesburg, 2002. Resource conservation, economic development and social justice were seen as the most important aspects of the concept of sustainability. The integration of the three pillars of Economic development, Environmental development and Social protection seem to be the urgent challenge now. Globalisation is used as a learning linkage, not only as course content. Kusakabe supported the idea utilising global access to create bonding, bridging and bracing social capital to achieve sustainable development. This global access model includes various components such as locale assessment, creativity in presenting social-system variations, technological and practice tutoring, marketing of the course, and university endorsement. Limitations are to be assessed: physical boundary, financial constraints, recruitment challenges, quality assurance, faculty development in virtual classroom setup and implementation, course design and pedagogy.
