5. Views from Visitors - How You Can Help
----------------------------------------------------------------““我是一位自学的软件开发者/工程师，总是以软件开发的主题搜寻着最新的资讯。麻省理工开放式课程拥有相当多值得使用且完全免费的资讯可供使用。一开始我无法相信！我开始浏览并如此惊讶于我所看到的资料。我已经读完这份教材，还让我自己因此而在一家科技公司获得一份薪资更为优渥的工作。我认为，这样的模式通常是失败的，但是知识就是力量，并且当知识可免费取得时，其力量将会是无穷的，端看你能用到多少。”－自学者，来自美国。
我们非常高兴您也是开放运动的一份子，但我们仍需要你的协助！麻省理工开放式课程将会一直是免费且开放性的数位出版品，而您的赞助（不论金额大小）都能帮助我们永续地出版高品质的麻省理工学院课程。现在就请您赞助麻省理工开放式课程或是直接在网站找到这个按钮：

5. Views from Visitors - How You Can Help
----------------------------------------------------------------“I am a self taught software developer / engineer who is always looking for new information about the topic. MIT OCW has a lot of reputable information available for absolutely free. At first, I couldn't believe it! I started browsing and was completely astonished by what I have come across. I have studied this material and have given myself an edge in order to get a better paying job at a technology company. I know, it usually doesn't work like that, but knowledge is power and when the knowledge is free the power is infinite in what one can accomplish.” – Self-learner, United States
