Learning without borders can be highly productive as long as the information source is true. Educating people on demand illustrates a potential workflow for informal learning .Improving then exclusive models of education reflects an important goal identified by the pioneers of the internet, while developing the world wide web decades ago.Utilizing the anytime access to engage in higher learning while interacting with a community of learners puts the learner in control.The major source of the resources discussed in this blog can be found here.
The open course-ware initiative launched by Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in the year 2000, provides worldwide access to the classes and coursework that sustain their curriculum. Website visitors can download (save to their computer) the lectures and other resources to build a personal library of videos or perhaps share them with a student that has limited internet access. Parents or teachers can enrich a child's learning or even participate by watching
and discussing the lectures.Tools are provided,free of cost, to enable
the application of the skills during development. .The class syllabus, assignments and required reading lists are included in the package. The depth of the MIT materials is mind blowing. There are software tools,simulations,problem sets,solution sets,quizzes and exams.
Learning is about challenging the limitations of the immediate environment. The epod blog is designed to aid the movement for the 'open sharing of information'. MIT is the truth.
