每月發行給麻省理工「開放式課程」計畫的使用者及夥伴的電子報。
----------------------------------------------------------------本期內容：
1. 開放式課程計畫的架設鏡射網站計畫
----------------------------------------------------------------
開放式課程計畫的架設鏡射網站計畫針對使用網際網路有嚴重阻礙、無適當的網際網路基礎建設或是過高的網際網路成本的教育團體提供了麻省理工開放式課程網站的複製。
開放式課程計畫的架設鏡射網站套件對於符合條件的教育團體是免費的。每一份套件均包含了完整的麻省理工開放式課程網站的複製及與一個裝有實用工具程式與教材的外接式硬碟。有興趣的教育機構請連絡麻省理工開放式課程對外拓展經理吳依凡，電子郵件地址為：yng@mit.edu .
2. 麻省理工學院也有這個課程？
----------------------------------------------------------------
課程「如何學會(幾乎)所有事」探討在數位時代對於學習的新機會，以獨特的觀點著眼於有那些學習可透過沉浸式的實際操作活動來達成。
要瞭解2001年春季課程MAS.712「如何學會(幾乎)所有事」的完整說明，請造訪下列網站：http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Media-Arts-and-Sciences/MAS-712Spring-2001/CourseHome/index.htm
3. 150 個開放式聯盟會員與成長
----------------------------------------------------------------
開放式課程聯盟的持續成長，已有超過150個教育機構會員加入。2007年5月7日，10個西班牙大學發起了開放式課程網站，總共包含了120門課程。這些網站都可從Univercia 開放式課程入口找到。Univercia也對麻省理工開放式課程的內容翻譯成西班牙語及葡萄牙語。麻省理工開放式課程要恭賀西班牙大學與Universia所達成的成就。
4. 一則謎題
----------------------------------------------------------------
數論是純數學的一支，專注於數的基本性質、特別的整數和因其研究所衍生出更寬廣的問題。利用歐基里德算術，計算423與198的最大公因數g（greatest common divisor）為何。最後可推得g = 423x+ 198y。
請到在麻省理工學院2003年春季課程18.781數論中確認您的解答是否正確。請在第一次期中考試中尋找答案：http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Mathematics/18-781Spring2003/CourseHome/index.htm
5. 訪客觀點 – 您的幫忙
----------------------------------------------------------------
「開放式課程計畫所提供的課程教材真的是太好用了，特別是對那些缺少正式背景的人。大部份的專業工作者會在其工作領域中遇到某些學校中沒有教的事情，開放式課程計畫填補了在專業上所需的理論與工作中學習的空白。」－來自印度的自學者。
我們需要您的協助才能持續地向全世界提供如同印度自學者所感受的好處！麻省理工開放式課程將會一直是免費且開放性的數位出版品，而您的贊助（不論金額大小）都能幫助我們永續地出版高品質的麻省理工學院課程。請現在就贊助麻省理工開放式課程，或是在線上按下這個按鈕：

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!
