The authors have tried to perform a comparative analysis among those courseware and then summarize them in the form of table and tree so that their overall structure can be easily approximated. After studying the similarities and dissimilarities among various contents provided by various courseware, the authors have proposed a design approach for an integrated global online courseware which will combine all the facilities of all courseware into a single one. A methodology for the fulfillment of the proposed idea has also been proposed with proper demonstration by Venn diagram. If the integrated courseware can be developed, then both of the instructors and learners will be benefitted. Because of integrating all relevant contents to relevant courses, it will be more beneficial for the third world learners also. The completion of the proposed idea requires the permission from the concerned authority. But if the idea can draw the attention of the authority, then it will surely be one of the steps to globalization of learning especially for the self learners.
