Open Course Ware
Posted by Salah in General, Technology on March 6th, 2009
OCW stands for Open Course Ware, where the idea of open source is expanded to unthinkable doors. Especially, online beyond open source software and projects. Lately, the concept of open source applied in new field to elevate education process further more where the concept of free ideas got improved and evolved. In spite of the challenges that may slowdown the process like “Copy Rights” of text books, papers and graphics used in illustrations inside classes.
The time I searched about open source courses, I got this: MIT open course ware; where OCW first innovated by this institute and then many universities just follow it in to this. MIT has exerted a great effort to work out the challenge of providing educational material with copyrights barriers.
Other efforts along the OCW movement, I found it from the Indian institute of Technologies and Indian Institute of Science
Indians went a head of what MIT done in video recording wise and with good quality lectures context. They really provided practical presentations especially in the engineering sector which is helping students and other individuals to continue their studies and self development.
I would like to thank the people behind these institutes and colleges who thinks about human revolving and improvement. Not to forget to mention about the Open Course Ware Consortium website where you will find all other universities and colleges that post their course materials for free in the hand of every body seeking for knowledge. the OCW is not only benefiting student but rather connecting educators with the most recent ideas in the education process.
Critical Thinking
Perhaps the most important influence that has changed my perspective to engineering aspects,since I have taken a course in critical thinking after high school classes with couple of friends. The critic nature of this course has improved my skills in liberating mind boundaries which rather enhanced my recognition to the replication of human nature into our digital culture. Accordingly, I have been fascinated by electronics and computer technologies, as well as telecommunications and multimedia
I can define Critical Thinking as the question of probability of circumstances that may route decisions and affect individualism mind.
the scientific question to release barriers for expanding human knowledge..
the right question ever asked by Einstein to introduce the relativity and facilitate other sciences.
Critical thinking got two sides
A good side when it used in science and to plan for better life and a bad side when used to change historical realities.
Keywords Value of money and SEO
Keywords are the building blocks of internet information infrastructure, golden keywords are keys to open search engines. where websites consists of information and are addressed by thier domain names and Meta data key words, which are the header in each web-page. These metas are used to guide for information targeted by potential customers. Consequently, Search Engines Optimization (SEO) comes as a need for the Internet culture. For example, a tool called CEO at http://www.websiteceo.com/ , it’s a free software used by webmasters and other ecommerce marketers to reach the top of search engines and then have a chance to raise the number of clicks.
Business leaders and marketers have realized the importance of these popular keywords especially on the media. Information is a significant factor in motivating deals between people through all trading patterns. Information has evolved from simply physical bulletin boards hanging on walls in places where people meet, to gear these information principles to such virtual human networks like internet where keywords plays the most significant role.
If we have noticed how Google, for instance, has grabbed the attention and now it is one of highest three share holdings and competing Microsoft and Yahoo. The main weapon for this result was the choice of keywords.
From the two graphs above, easily can be recognized the significant impact of Keywords and in return the dramatic increase in value of money!
