Charles Wedemeyer Quote 1 ldquoIt should be immaterial whether one has

learned at the front door or the back door of the Palace of Learning What one has learnedmdashnot

where or how in what sequence at what institution or in what period of timemdashis the only

criterion of supreme importancerdquo(Charles Wedemeyer 1981 p 216)

ldquoThis is about something bigger than MIT I hope other universities will see us as educational leaders in this arena and we very much hope that OpenCourseWare will draw other universities to do the same We would be delighted if -- over time -- we have a world wide web of knowledge that raises the quality of learning -- and ultimately the quality of life -- around the globe

Factors Leading to Success or Personal Change When Exploring Online

(MIT OCW Group Note Check all that apply)

MIT Data (example 1) Self-Taught on Social Media

(21-30 year old unemployed female North America)

At first my purpose was to fulfill boredom hellipAfter graduating with a MS I was faced with unemployment I took the opportunity to read blogs watch Youtube videos and more to learn about blogging and social media Since than I have become well versed in social media and other business topics and started a businesshellip I decided not to pursue a PHD because I am learning a more rapid pace Instead of spending 5 years in school I can be flexible and work on what I am learning

MIT Data (example 2) Prepares to Reenter University

(41-50 year old male Middle East)Most interesting experience of my own was my use of MIT OCW to refresh on Calculus I purchased the textbook and followed one of several calculus options on the site This was quite successful in re-introducing Calculus as a prep to re-entering college 28 years after graduation - this time to study for a Masters

MIT Data (example 3) Retiree Develops New Hobby(70+ year old female North America)

Im am avid photographer and have developed skills for developing my own website for display of my photography and books I have written that include my photographshellipIve had multiple careers from science to public administration and information technology The development of my art is a new and exciting experience

Life Changing Example 5
