每月发行给麻省理工“开放式课程”计划的使用者及伙伴的电子报。
----------------------------------------------------------------本期内容：
1. 开放式课程计划的架设镜射网站计划
----------------------------------------------------------------
开放式课程计划的架设镜射网站计划针对使用网际网络有严重阻碍、无适当的网际网络基础建设或是过高的网际网络成本的教育团体提供了麻省理工开放式课程网站的复制。
开放式课程计划的架设镜射网站套件对于符合条件的教育团体是免费的。每一份套件均包含了完整的麻省理工开放式课程网站的复制及与一个装有实用工具程式与教材的外接式硬碟。有兴趣的教育机构请连络麻省理工开放式课程对外拓展经理吴依凡，电子邮件地址为：yng@mit.edu .
2. 麻省理工学院也有这个课程？
----------------------------------------------------------------
课程“如何学会(几乎)所有事”探讨在数位时代对于学习的新机会，以独特的观点着眼于有那些学习可透过沉浸式的实际操作活动来达成。
要了解2001年春季课程MAS.712“如何学会(几乎)所有事”的完整说明，请造访下列网站：http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Media-Arts-and-Sciences/MAS-712Spring-2001/CourseHome/index.htm
3. 150 个开放式联盟会员与成长
----------------------------------------------------------------
开放式课程联盟的持续成长，已有超过150个教育机构会员加入。2007年5月7日，10个西班牙大学发起了开放式课程网站，总共包含了120门课程。这些网站都可从Univercia 开放式课程入口找到。Univercia也对麻省理工开放式课程的内容翻译成西班牙语及葡萄牙语。麻省理工开放式课程要恭贺西班牙大学与Universia所达成的成就。
4. 一则谜题
----------------------------------------------------------------
数论是纯数学的一支，专注于数的基本性质、特别的整数和因其研究所衍生出更宽广的问题。利用欧基里德算术，计算423与198的最大公因数g（greatest common divisor）为何。最后可推得g = 423x+ 198y。
请到在麻省理工学院2003年春季课程18.781数论中确认您的解答是否正确。请在第一次期中考试中寻找答案：http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Mathematics/18-781Spring2003/CourseHome/index.htm
5. 访客观点 – 您的帮忙
----------------------------------------------------------------
“开放式课程计划所提供的课程教材真的是太好用了，特别是对那些缺少正式背景的人。大部份的专业工作者会在其工作领域中遇到某些学校中没有教的事情，开放式课程计划填补了在专业上所需的理论与工作中学习的空白。”－来自印度的自学者。

May 2007 Newsletter
----------------------------------------------------------------
MIT OpenCourseWare Update: May 2007
A Monthly E-mail Newsletter for Users and Friends of MIT OpenCourseWare
----------------------------------------------------------------
In this issue:
1. OCW Mirror Site Program
----------------------------------------------------------------
The OCW Mirror Site Program provides copies of the MIT OCW website to educational organizations encountering significant challenges to internet accessibility, inadequate internet infrastructure, or prohibitive internet costs.
OCW Mirror Site packages are available free of charge to educational institutions meeting our program criteria. Each package includes a complete copy of the MIT OCW site as well as supplementary tools and materials provided on an external hard drive. Interested institutions should contact Yvonne Ng, MIT OCW External Outreach Manager, at yng@mit.edu .
2. MIT Teaches That?
----------------------------------------------------------------
The “How to Learn (Almost) Anything” course explores new opportunities for learning in the digital age, with special focus on what can be learned through immersive, hands-on activities.
To find a full description of MAS.712 How to Learn (Almost) Anything, Spring 2001, go to: http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Media-Arts-and-Sciences/MAS-712Spring-2001/CourseHome/index.htm
3. 150 OCW Consortium Members and Growing
----------------------------------------------------------------
The OpenCourseWare Consortium continues to grow with more than 150 member educational institutions. On May 7, 2007, ten Spanish universities launched OpenCourseWare sites containing a total of 120 courses. The sites are all accessible through the Universia OCW portal. Universia also translates MIT OpenCourseWare content into Spanish and Portuguese. MIT OpenCourseWare congratulates the Spanish universities and Universia on this accomplishment!
4. Brain Teaser
----------------------------------------------------------------
Number theory is the branch of pure mathematics concerned with the properties of numbers in general, and integers in particular, as well as the wider classes of problems that arise from their study. Using the Euclidian algorithm, compute the greatest common divisor g of 423 and 198. Then find integers x and y so that g = 423x+ 198y.
See if your answer is correct in the MIT Course, 18.781 Theory of Numbers, Spring 2003. Look in the first mid-term exam. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Mathematics/18-781Spring2003/CourseHome/index.htm
5. Views from Visitors - How You Can Help
----------------------------------------------------------------
“The course material provided in the OCW is extremely useful especially for the people who do not have formal background. Most of the times, a professional works in a field about which he/she had not studied in college. OCW fills the gap between his learning at work place and theory necessary for the profession.” – Self learner, India
We need your help to continue providing global benefits like the one above! MIT OCW will always be a free and open digital publication, but your donation (small or large) helps us continue to offer a high-quality publication of MIT’s course materials in the long term. Please donate to MIT OCW right now, or look for this button on the OCW web site:
Your gift of $50, $100, $500 or whatever amount is right for you will enable us to keep MIT OCW vibrant and up to date. Thank you!
