1. 新課程上線了
----------------------------------------------------------------
麻省理工開放式課程欣喜地宣佈有新的課程加入了本次最新的例行課程發表，當您在閱覽
麻省理工學院開放式課程所有課程列表時，找到紅色的NEW就代表著是在2005年秋季所發佈的課程：
（編註：OOPS必須等待麻省理工學院全部上線作業皆完成之後才能將這些課程上線，所以我們必須等待下個月的進一步同步完成才行，請各位使用者見諒，也請各位屆時上網來繼續認領。）
麻省理工開放式課程在秋季時也會更新75門課程，我們與麻省理工學院的教授們一起將較舊的課程打包歸檔，並換上了新版的課程（有新的年份與學期）。有些更新後的課程在教學方式上有相當程度的差別，為現有的課程提供了另外的教學與學習的資源：
麻省理工開放式課程即將在10月份發表將近超過百門的新課程與超過60門的更新課程，將課程上線總數量推上1250門。請留意在下個月的電子報中有更多的新增課程列表。（編註：與前面所說相同，OOPS目前仍舊必須暫時等待。）
2. 2005年的使用者調查
----------------------------------------------------------------
為了瞭解麻省理工開放式課程計畫與其目標的達成度，並建立持續性的回饋程序，我們已經整合出一個內容豐富的評估計畫。
評估有兩個必要的理由：
- 追蹤麻省理工開放式課程計畫的可用性以促使我們能不斷地改進網站的作用與服務，並協助我們設定麻省理工開放式課程的長期方向以維護本計畫的相關事宜。
- 藉由使用調查，並展示出麻省理工開放式課程計畫的影響與教授們所提供的教材，也可以鼓勵其他機構考慮透過相同的努力來分享他們的教材。
下個月造訪麻省理工開放式課程網站的訪客將會在瀏覽課程時，收到請求填寫使用者調查的彈出式視窗。自從2002年麻省理工學院啟用本計畫後，本次調查是我們所辦理的第三次年度使用者調查，將會從下個月開始實施。調查結果將會在2006年初公佈在麻省理工開放式課程網站上。要閱讀更多有關麻省理工開放式課程網站的評估方法的話，請到：http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Global/AboutOCW/evaluation.htm

November issue of this newsletter.

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.
