今天看到一侧新闻，MIT免费在线提供所有课程的录音等资料： http://ocw.mit.edu/index.html 此前他们已经提供了大量的免费课程，很多人受益。 相比之下，国内某些名校的表现就差得远：曾经听同学说清华不让外校学生听课，还警告校内学生不得将课表外传。如果说允许学生来校内旁听会影响课堂纪律的话，将精品课程录像放在网上不是什么难事（想想一年18亿经费啊）。为什么做不到呢。可能会损害某些人的利益（不能办班收钱）。 希望这些所谓的名校不要忘记自己作为一个教育机构的教育责任。 看看人家怎么说的： “We started this project because MIT believes that one of the best ways to advance education around the world is through the internet” MIT to offer all courses free online BOSTON - The Massachusetts Institute of Technology will become by year's end the first US university to offer all of its roughly 1800 courses free on the internet, a school official says. "We started this project because MIT believes that one of the best ways to advance education around the world is through the internet," said Anne Margulies, head of online curriculum. Online students will not be able to earn an MIT degree or have contact with faculty at the university, located across the river from Boston in Cambridge, Massachusetts. MIT launched its "OpenCourseWare" program in 2003 and already offers hundreds of courses online. A small number of other US schools are following suit. Stanford put some classes on line last year and Bryn Mawr plans to do so soon. Last month, 1.5 million users went to the MIT course site, sampling offerings like Cognitive Robotics, Inventions and Patents, and Superconducting Magnets. Most users - 60 per cent come from outside the United States - gravitate toward the subjects MIT is best-known for: computer science, physics and mathematics, Margulies said. Even MIT students who pay thousands of dollars in tuition fees for each course use the free online service to study for exams or sample what courses they may want to take on campus, Margulies said. - REUTERS |
