----------------------------------------------------------------
麻省理工开放式课程欣喜地宣布有新的课程加入了本次最新的例行课程发表，当您在阅览
麻省理工学院开放式课程所有课程列表时，找到红色的NEW就代表着是在2005年秋季所发布的课程：
（编注：OOPS必须等待麻省理工学院全部上线作业皆完成之后才能将这些课程上线，所以我们必须等待下个月的进一步同步完成才行，请各位使用者见谅，也请各位届时上网来继续认领。）
麻省理工开放式课程在秋季时也会更新75门课程，我们与麻省理工学院的教授们一起将较旧的课程打包归档，并换上了新版的课程（有新的年份与学期）。有些更新后的课程在教学方式上有相当程度的差别，为现有的课程提供了另外的教学与学习的资源：
麻省理工开放式课程即将在10月份发表将近超过百门的新课程与超过60门的更新课程，将课程上线总数量推上1250门。请留意在下个月的电子报中有更多的新增课程列表。（编注：与前面所说相同，OOPS目前仍旧必须暂时等待。）
2. 2005年的使用者调查
----------------------------------------------------------------
为了了解麻省理工开放式课程计划与其目标的达成度，并建立持续性的回馈程序，我们已经整合出一个内容丰富的评估计划。
评估有两个必要的理由：
- 追踪麻省理工开放式课程计划的可用性以促使我们能不断地改进网站的作用与服务，并协助我们设定麻省理工开放式课程的长期方向以维护本计划的相关事宜。
- 藉由使用调查，并展示出麻省理工开放式课程计划的影响与教授们所提供的教材，也可以鼓励其他机构考虑透过相同的努力来分享他们的教材。
下个月造访麻省理工开放式课程网站的访客将会在浏览课程时，收到请求填写使用者调查的弹出式视窗。自从2002年麻省理工学院启用本计划后，本次调查是我们所办理的第三次年度使用者调查，将会从下个月开始实施。调查结果将会在2006年初公布在麻省理工开放式课程网站上。要阅读更多有关麻省理工开放式课程网站的评估方法的话，请到：http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Global/AboutOCW/evaluation.htm

In order to understand the extent to which MIT OCW is meeting its
goals, and to establish a continuous feedback process, we have
integrated a substantial evaluation program. Evaluation is essential
for two reasons:
- Tracking the usability of MIT OCW enables us to continually
improve the Web site's features and services, and will help us set the
long-term direction of MIT OCW to maintain the project's relevance
over time.
- By measuring use, and demonstrating the impact of MIT OCW and the
educational materials the MIT faculty offer through it, we will be
able to encourage other institutions to consider sharing their
materials through similar efforts.
Over the course of the next month, visitors to the MIT OCW Web
site will receive a pop-up window asking them to fill out a user
survey. This survey, the third such annual user survey we have
instrumented since the launch of MIT OCW in 2002, will be in effect
for the next month. Results will be published on the MIT OCW Web site
in early 2006. To read more about MIT OCW's approach to evaluation,

Tufts
University, with campuses in Boston, Medford, Somerville and
Grafton, MA, has a global reputation for academic and research
excellence, and innovation. The
Tufts
OpenCourseWare project demonstrate Tufts' strength in the life
sciences, as well a multidisciplinary approach, an international
perspective, and an underlying ethic of service to the university's
local, national, and international communities.

The top six universities in Japan -- Keio University, Kyoto
University, Osaka University, Tokyo Institute of Technology, the
University of Tokyo, and Waseda University -- have announced the
formation of the
Japan OCW
Alliance. These six universities now offer open access to close to
100 courses, in both
English
and
Japanese.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Inspired by the MIT OCW initiative, the
Fulbright School Economics
Teaching Program (FETP) in Vietnam launched
FETP OpenCourseWare in
2003, the first "opencourseware" project to launch after MIT
opened in September 2002. The Fulbright School participates with other
academic institutions in Vietnam to promote the use of innovative
long-distance learning activities.
