2. 你們是如何使用麻省理工開放式課程的？
----------------------------------------------------------------
我們希望全世界的教師將能利用麻省理工開放式課程網站提供的課程資源進行課程開發，自學者可以用來自學或其他輔助用途。
隨著我們不斷努力，網站將在2003年9月發布總數達500門課程，麻省理工開放式課程的員工將非常關注項目網站的評估和測量。我們將嘗試回答這些問題：網站的課程資源訪問情形怎樣？人們是怎樣使用這些資源的？麻省理工開放式課程項目產生的影響是什麼？教師們能改編麻省理工開放式課程課程資源用於自己的教學嗎？
為了建立用戶的案例研究，我們邀請並希望您能和我們分享你的故事。告知我們你是怎樣使用麻省理工開放式課程課程資源的。如果您願意分享您的故事，請聯絡Jon Paul Potts，麻省理工開放式課程聯絡主管：jpotts@mit.edu。
3. 深度探索：課程 6.001
---------------------------------------------------------------
這份電子報每月會提供訂戶一份針對特定主題的深度指導。本月，我們將深入研究課程 6.001: 電腦程式的架構與解譯。這門課程來自麻省理工學院的電機工程與資訊科學學院(EECS)的Eric Grimson 教授，也是EECS學院面向所有本科生開設的首門核心課程。
課程介紹了關於計算的基本原理。修完6.001課程後，學生們將能解釋和應用編程語言的基本方法來分析計算系統，獲得抽象結算問題的解?方法。編程作業安排包括「我該如何完成我的項目」的基本描述。
Grimson教授的課程講稿是PDF文檔，包括以下主題：數據轉化、物件導向程式設計、元循環求值程序、和記憶體管理。
在課程的工具區提供了Scheme 文件，包括MIT Scheme 手冊，更新的MIT Scheme 參考手冊列出了所有的命令-關於演算法語言的修訂報告(第四版)、關於圖式語言正式定義、瞭解一種語言是如何規範描述的、你將覺得非常有趣,但是這並不是6.001課程必須掌握的內容。
4. 一個常見問題
----------------------------------------------------------------
問：麻省理工學院有在實驗任何其它的教育科技嗎？
答：麻省理工學院正進行幾個相當有野心的計畫來透過新科技把教育過程改變及加強。這些計畫都是由麻省理工學院的教育技術委員會(MIT Council on Educational Technology)推動和支援。I-Campus計畫是一個麻省理工學院和微軟研究部門(Microsoft Research)合作的計畫，Alex 與 Brit d'Arbeloff 基金則是資助了提升麻省理工學院教育計畫（連結）。麻省理工學院也參與了幾個世界各地的遠距學習計畫。未來這些用來支援上述計畫的技術也會被用來提升麻省理工學院「開放式課程網頁」的資料。這些計畫包括了StudioMIT, Singapore-MIT Alliance (SMA), MIT's System Design and Management Program (SDM), and theCambridge-MIT Institute (CMI)。

The official launch of MIT OpenCourseWare, with the publication of approximately 500 courses, will take place in September 2003. However, during the months of July, August, and September, we will employ a "rolling" publication schedule, releasing batches of new courses to the public site on a weekly basis.
There have been three such batch releases thus far, and the MIT OCW Web site now offers the course materials from 84 MIT subjects- including 34 new additions to the original 50 subjects of the MIT OCW pilot. These new courses include:

2. How You Are Using MIT OCW?
----------------------------------------------------------------
The hope is that educators around the world will be able to utilize the course materials presented on the MIT OCW Web site for curriculum development, and self-learners will be able to draw upon the materials for self-study or supplementary use.
As we move forward to the publication of the course materials from 500 more MIT subjects in September 2003, the staff of MIT OCW is focused on evaluation and measurement of the MIT OCW Web site. We are trying to answer such questions as: How accessible are the MIT OCW course materials? How are people using the materials? What is the impact of MIT OCW? Are educators able to adapt MIT OCW materials for their own teaching?
We would like to ask you to share your story with us for the purposes of developing user case studies. Tell us how you are using the MIT OCW materials. Please contact Jon Paul Potts, the MIT OCW Communications Manager, at jpotts@mit.edu, if you would like to share your case study.
3. Digging Deeper: Course 6.001
---------------------------------------------------------------
Each month, this newsletter offers subscribers an in-depth guide to one particular subject. This month, we delve into "Course 6.001: Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs." This course, from MIT Professor Eric Grimson of MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), is the first course in the core of departmental subjects required for all undergraduates in EECS.
The course introduces students to the principles of computation. Upon completion of 6.001, students should be able to explain and apply the basic methods from programming languages to analyze computational systems, and to generate solutions to abstract computational problems. Programming assignments - including a description of "How should I write up my projects?" are described in the section.
Topics from Professor Grimson's Lecture Notesare in PDF format and include topics such as,Data Mutation, Object-Oriented Programming,The Meta-circular Evaluator, and Memory Management.
There are also explanations of "Scheme Documentation" under the Toolssection, including a Guide to MIT Scheme, Updated- the reference manual for MIT Scheme, listing all the commands - and the Revised (4) Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme, the formal definition of the Scheme language. It will be interesting for you to look at how a language is described formally, but you should not need to consult this for 6.001.
4. A Frequently Asked Question
----------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Are there other experiments in educational technology underway at MIT?
A: MIT is undertaking a number of ambitious projects to enhance and potentially transform the educational experience through the use of new technologies. These projects are stimulated and supported by the MIT Council on Educational Technology, by Project I-Campus, a collaboration between MIT and Microsoft Research, and by the Alex and Brit d'Arbeloff Fund for Excellence in MIT Education. MIT is also engaged in several collaborative and distance-learning projects around the world. In the future the technologies that are being developed to support these efforts may also be utilized to enhance MIT OCW materials. Some of these projects include StudioMIT, the Singapore-MIT Alliance (SMA), MIT's System Design and Management Program (SDM), and the Cambridge-MIT Institute (CMI).
