Recovering precious classroom time
§ä¦^¬Ã¶Qªº½Ò°ó®É¶¡
Hemalatha Thiagarajan first discovered OpenCourseWare several years ago
during an Internet search for materials on artificial intelligence. A
professor of mathematics and computer science at the National Institute
of Technology Tiruchirappalli, in Tamil Nadu, India, Thiagarajan was
dissatisfied with the traditional textbook on artificial intelligence,
and was hoping to find materials to supplement her lectures.

The OCW materials she found for “Course 6.825 – Techniques
in Artificial Intelligence” were just what she was looking for,
and she quickly adapted several PowerPoint presentations and lectures
to fit her syllabus. To her surprise, however the materials
didn’t just improve the content of her lectures; they also
allowed her to cover more material in the same number of classes.
“I used to spend a lot of class time drawing pictures on the
board,” Thiagarajan said. “In data structures, for example,
I need to show a lot of pictures of data trees and structures, and I
had to draw all of them. Here, with the click of a button, I can show
them something which has been very neatly and very beautifully
done.”

Initially, her students were not entirely happy with her new approach. “For the first month,” she recalls, with evident amusement,
“many of them felt that the course was moving too fast.
Obviously, when I have to write everything on the board, I go more
slowly, so they get a lot of time to follow the whole thing.”

In the end, though, Thiagarajan received rave reviews from her students —
both on the amount and the quality of the material she was able to cover.

Thiagarajan also has found that OCW is a valuable resource for students
who would benefit from a deeper look at a particular topic. In her own
teaching, Thiagarajan is constrained by a rigid university syllabus. So
when a topic emerges in class that she cannot spend enough time on, she
is quick to steer her students to OCW. “I’ve told my
students that some of the OCW courses would be very useful for them,
when I can’t cover these topics fully enough, but they’re
important to the students. And the students find it very useful.”
