Electromechanical Library TUTORIALES COMPLETISIMOS DE ELECTRONICA. Lessons learned from MITx’s prototype course. Last December, MIT announced the creation of MITx, an ambitious project to recreate the MIT classroom experience online; in March, the MITx prototype course — “Circuits and Electronics,” or 6.002x in MIT’s course-numbering system — debuted.
In May, MIT and Harvard University jointly announced the creation of edX, an organization that will further develop the MITx platform and enable other universities to use it as well. As MIT and Harvard gear up to offer new edX courses in the fall, the edX team is taking stock of its experience with 6.002x and beginning to incorporate what it learned into the system’s design. In the end, almost 155,000 people registered for 6.002x. Of those, roughly 23,000 tried the first problem set, 9,000 passed the midterm, and 7,157 passed the course as a whole. Agarwal also believes that the rate of completion will increase as more courses are added to the edX catalog. Summer Learning: The Best Places to Take Online Classes for Free.

This recent blog post strikes me as an interesting instance of a common phenomenon.
The phenomenon looks like the following; an intellectual, working within the assumption that the world is not mad, (an assumption not generally found outside of the Anglo-American Enlightenment intellectual tradition) notices that some feature of the world would only make sense if the world was mad. This intellectual responds by denouncing as silly one of the few features of this vale of tears to be, while not intelligently designed, at least structured by generalized evolution rather than by entropy.
The key line in the post is "Conversely in all those disciplines where we have reliable quantatative measurements of progress (with the obvious exception of history) returning to the original works of past great thinkers is decidedly unhelpful. " I agree with the above statement, and find that the post makes a compelling argument for it. Outside of physics, the evidence for progress is far weaker. Study Temple-All kinds of Study Material.

The Online Course Evaluation Project (OCEP) has been created to provide distance learning administrators, instructors and course designers with a resource to explore the availability, quality, and completeness of online courses for higher education, Advanced Placement®, and high school.
The EduTools project provides access and functionality to give users of this content an effective tool to search and compare course evaluations. Online courses are identified and measured against a set of objective evaluation categories. These criteria were developed through extensive research and review of instructional and course design guidelines, best practices from leading organizations specializing in online education, and from numerous academic course evaluations. The evaluation process employs a three-member team for each course, consisting of a Course Evaluator, Academic Evaluator (subject matter expert) and Technology Evaluator.
