大学教育资源网上共享
Fudan University, one of China's top academic institutions, will share its educational resources with the public. More than 15 million yuan is being invested to invite scholars to give lectures from around the world. Most of the video presentations will be put online.
The first lecture video has been uploaded, making Fudan University China's forerunner for institutions working with commercial web-sites in making its multimedia presentations available to the public.
Speaking about history, Wang Fansen, an academic from Taiwan,is the first to host one of these multimedia lectures.
From farther afield, Harvard professor Michael Sandel, whose lectures on justice have received millions of clicks online, has been invited to talk in Fudan on Sunday.
Fang Ming, Spokesman, Fudan University, said, We'll invite about six scholars to our university, each one will host four to five lectures. Each lecture costs about three thousand US dollars on average. Most of these lectures will be put on the Internet and the public can enjoy free access to these videos. I hope people can benefit from this project.
At the same time, the Education Ministry is also building up its reserve of educational resources, including course schedules, teaching plans, training videos and exercises.
Ju Feng, Deputy Director of Resource Center, Ddication Ministry, said, The resources include the works from 36 academics and more than four hundred professors. I think it could largely reflect where our university education should be heading.
Once only available to those attending university, these resources are now gradually opening up to the general public. The Ministry has launched a web-site with a forum for sharing, allowing non-students to watch lectures covering more than 60 subjects. The Ministry says they are working to raise the number of topics to more than five hundred this year.
