Dear John,

OCW is a vital free and open resource.
 
Please help us continue to create and share the open educational materials that broaden educational opportunities and change lives.
 
Please support MIT OpenCourseWare with a contribution during the OCW Spring Fundraising Campaign. We hope the special Thank-You gifts (listed on our crowdfunding page), made possible by an anonymous supporter, will encourage you to donate today.
 
If you’ve already donated, then thank you for your support!
 
Sincerely,
 
Cecilia d'Oliveira
Associate Dean of Digital Learning
MIT OpenCourseWare
 
P.S. Here is feedback from one of our campaign donors: 
 

"I continue to love love love MIT OpenCourseWare. MIT OpenCourseWare provides me with the best foundational computer science education possible, given that I'm a 32+ year veteran software engineer with a challenging full-time position. I can watch these videos on my own time at home and also study the excellent accompanying materials. This is a critical part of sustaining and advancing my career, which I hope to continue for another 15 to 20 years."
-Brian, OCW Spring Campaign donor

Peer review! Hardly are those words out than a writing instructor’s heart starts to stir—but with joy or trepidation?

Peer review! That activity in which students review each other’s work and give each other feedback. It’s an essential writing skill, after all, being able to assess a piece of writing critically and offer suggestions for making it more effective without sending the author into a tailspin of despair.

It’s what every good editor does.

MIT’s Office of Digital Learning honored the winners of its inaugural MITx Prize for Teaching & Learning in MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) at the MITx Significant Interest Group event on Friday, May 19th. The award is part of the Institute’s continued effort to encourage the development of new MOOC methods and technologies. The MITx Prize for Teaching & Learning recognizes educators who have devoted themselves to better engaging learners around the world through digital classrooms.
