麻省理工學院「開放式課程網頁」 | 媒體藝術與科學 | MAS.712 2001春季課程：如何學習（幾乎）一切

課程概要

在我們如何學習及我們應學些什麼的問題上，數位革命正推動著根本的變化，並使成為不可或缺的一環。為了在當今快速變化的世界中立於不敗之地，人們必須堅持學習：每天學習，終身學習。新科技開拓了新的學習途徑，帶來了新的學習內容和新的學習工具，以及在我們能學點什麼這個問題上提出了新觀點。

在本課程裏，我們將探索在數位時代裏新的學習機會，特別著重於我們能透過創意和親身實踐去學些什麼。學生將參與（及思考）各式各樣的學習場景，包括：向朋友學習，教朋友某事，參與幾小時的專題討論，以及自學。在期末專題中，學生將開發新的專題討論（運用媒體實驗室技術），反覆討論和改進，分析其參與者是如何學習的，他們又學到了些什麼。

（感謝媒體實驗室課程MAS.863的創作者：這課程的題目「如何製造（幾乎）一切」，為本課程的題目提供了靈感。）

The digital revolution is both necessitating and facilitating radical changes in how and what we learn. To flourish in today's rapidly changing world, people must continue to learn all the time: throughout the day, throughout their lives. At the same time, new technologies make possible new approaches to learning, new contexts for learning, new tools to support learning, and new ideas of what can be learned.

In this course, we will be exploring new opportunities for learning in the digital age, with special focus on what can be learned through immersive, hands-on activities. Students will participate in (and reflect on) a variety of learning situations, including: learning from a friend, teaching something to a friend, participating in a several-hour workshop, and learning on your own. As a final project, students will develop new workshops (using Media Lab technologies), iteratively run and refine the workshops, and analyze how and what the workshop participants learn.

(Thanks to the creators of Media Lab course MAS.863: How to Make (Almost) Anything for providing the inspiration for the title of this course.)
