麻省理工学院“开放式课程网页” | 化学 | 5.301 2004一月(自由活动月)课程：化学实验技巧

对“5.301 化学实验技巧”这门课有兴趣的教育家、学生和自学者们，欢迎来和其他应用这个教材学习或教课的人在这个讨论群组上互动。

这个服务是由麻省理工学院开放式课程提供，由犹他州立大学教育科技系的“开放持续学习机会研究群”所管理。世界各地的独立学员可以互相联系、协同合作、组织学习小组，及就利用麻省理工“开放式课程网页”教材资源，在正规或非正规教育的学习时得到支援。

“开放式学习支援网”（Open Learning Support，简称OLS）是一个着眼于建立“社群软件”的研究计划，让非正规学习社群利用现存公开的教材而组织起来学习。OLS基本前提是完整的教育机会，必须让使用者能够与能解答其问题或提供支援的其他人建立起沟通管道。赞助者一般只能提供免费开放的网页教材，但很难提供这样的社群管道。社群支援必须由其他使用者提供。因此，OLS是：

在麻省理工“开放式课程网页”以外独立运作的。
需要使用者注册并登陆才能参与的
并不颁授任何学位或文凭的计划
不提供与麻省理工或犹他州立大学教职人员直接联系的管道

马上来本课程《5.301 化学实验技巧》的讨论群组看看吧。

Educators, students, and self-learners interested in "Course 5.301: Chemistry Laboratory Techniques" are invited to interact with others utilizing these materials in their teaching and learning through the 讨论群组上互动。

This service, offered by MIT OCW and hosted by the Open Sustainable Learning Opportunities Research Group in the Department of Instructional Technology at Utah State University, offers individuals around the world the opportunity to connect with each other, collaborate, form study groups, and receive support for their use of MIT OCW materials in formal and informal educational settings.

OLS is a research project that is focused on building "social software" that enables informal learning communities to form around existing open educational content. The fundamental premise of OLS is that full educational opportunity requires a user to have the social access to other people who can answer questions and provide support. Since the sponsors of free and open Web-based materials cannot typically provide this access, the social support must come from other users. Therefore, OLS:

Operates independently of MIT OCW
Requires users to register and login to participate
Is not a degree-granting or certificate-granting program
Does not provide formal access to MIT or Utah State University faculty
