EdX from MIT and Harvard University



EdX is a joint partnership between The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard University to offer online learning to millions of people around the world. EdX will offer Harvard and MIT classes online for free. Through this partnership, the institutions aim to extend their collective reach to build a global community of online learners and to improve education for everyone. 

MIT’s Director of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory Anant Agarwal serves as the first president of edX, and Harvard’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences Dean Michael D. Smith leads faculty in developing courses. Along with offering online courses, the institutions will use edX to research how students learn and how technology can facilitate teaching—both on-campus and online. 

EdX is based on MITx, a technological platform from MIT designed to offer online versions of their courses. These versions include: video lessons, embedded testing, real-time feedback, student-ranked questions and answers, collaborative web-based laboratories, and student paced learning. Though this will never replace the traditional residential model of undergraduate education, it will serve to improve and supplement the teaching and learning experienced at both universities. In turn, Harvard and MIT have created edX open-source software and invite interested institutions to join edX with their own educational content. EdX is a Cambridge-based not-for-profit, equally owned and funded by Harvard and MIT. The first set of courses will be announced in the summer and will begin in the Fall 2012.

Harvard has more than 360,000 alumni around the world.


Massachusetts Institute of Technology



The Massachusetts Institute of Technology — a coeducational, privately endowed research university founded in 1861 — is dedicated to advancing knowledge and educating students in science, technology, and other areas of scholarship that will best serve the nation and the world in the 21st century. The Institute has close to 1,000 faculty and 10,000 undergraduate and graduate students. It is organized into five Schools: Architecture and Urban Planning; Engineering; Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences; Sloan School of Management; and Science. 

MIT's commitment to innovation has led to a host of scientific breakthroughs and technological advances. Achievements of the Institute's faculty and graduates have included the first chemical synthesis of penicillin and vitamin A, the development of inertial guidance systems, modern technologies for artificial limbs, and the magnetic core memory that made possible the development of digital computers. Seventy-eight alumni, faculty, researchers and staff have won Nobel Prizes. Current areas of research and education include neuroscience and the study of the brain and mind, bioengineering, cancer, energy, the environment and sustainable development, information sciences and technology, new media, financial technology, and entrepreneurship.

7 Tips Belajar Kelompok yang Efisien:


1. Jumlah anggota kelompok maksimal adalah 5 orang. Dengan anggota kelompok yang tidak terlalu banyak diharapkan siswa bisa lebih focus dalam berdiskusi.

2. Tentukan materi belajar jauh-jauh hari sebelum belajar kelompok dilaksanakan. Menentukan materi belajar sebelum belajar kelompok dilakukan adalah sangat penting agar semua anggota bisa mempersiapkan diri terhadap materi yang akan didiskusikan.

3. Waktu belajar kelompok minimal 2 jam tiap pertemuan dan dilakukan 3 kali dalam seminggu. Waktu belajar yang efektif adalah siang hari atau sore hari setelah istirahat di rumah. Usahakan agar setiap anggota datang tepat pada waktunya di tempat yang disepakati sebelumnya.

4. Ciptakan suasana belajar yang serius tapi santai. Setiap anggota kelompok diharapkan untuk fokus terhadap materi yang didiskusikan. Hindari bercanda yang berkepanjangan atau bermain HP saat belajar kelompok. Apabila anda teman yang bercanda terlalu lama jangan sungkan untuk menegurnya demi tercapainya tujuan belajar kelompok.

5. Pilihlah tempat belajar yang nyaman dan tenang, jauh dari televisi atau keramaian. Tempat belajar kelompok yang tenang dan nyaman sangat membantu dalam meningkatkan konsentrasi dalam proses belajar dan berdiskusi.

6. Manfaatkan waktu untuk mengerjakan soal-soal yang telah disepakati. Tiap-tiap anggota harus mengerjakan soalnya sendiri-sendiri. Apabila ada anggota yang tidak bisa mengerjakan suatu soal, anggota yang lain harus menjelaskan kepadanya sampai ia mengerti. Janganlah sungkan untuk bertanya apabila tidak bisa mengerjakan soal. Bila semua anggota kelompok tidak ada yang mampu, catatlah soal tersebut untuk ditanyakan kepada guru di sekolah.

7. Jangan sungkan-sungkan membantu menjelaskan kepada anggota kelompok yang lain. Semakin sering anda menjelaskan suatu materi kepada orang lain maka semakin dalam juga penguasaan anda terhadap materi tersebut.

MITx – Circuits and Electronics


Mengembangkan pembelajaran dengan para dosen dan Mahasiswa

foto oleh: Arip Nurahman

General Information

Prerequisites: In order to succeed in this course, students must have taken an Advanced Placement (AP) level physics course in electricity and magnetism. Students must know basic calculus and linear algebra, and have some background in differential equations.

Course Overview: 

The course is organized by weeks. Unless indicated otherwise, to keep pace with this inaugural version of the class, you are expected to complete by the end of each week all the work assigned at the beginning of that week. Homeworks and labs must be completed by the friday of the week following the one in which they are posted. Weekly coursework includes:

• Interactive video sequences (known as sequences for short).
• Readings from the textbook
• Homework
• Online laboratories
• Optional tutorials

The course will also have a midterm exam and a final exam. If you successfully complete the course, you will receive an electronic MITx certificate indicating your grade.

Interactive video sequences:

There will generally be two sequences per week. 

Each sequence includes a succession of videos and online exercises. You are strongly encouraged to watch the videos and complete all the exercises. Although not encouraged, you are able to skip to the next item in the sequence without completing a previous item.

Although you can submit the answers to exercises to be checked, exercises will not be part of your grade.

Textbook: The course textbook is Foundations of Analog and Digital Electronic Circuits by Agarwal and Lang, Elsevier, 2005. It may be purchased from Amazon. While recommended, the book is not required: relevant sections will be provided electronically as part of the online course for personal use in connection with this course only. 

The Course-at-a-glance handout under the Course Info tab shows the textbook readings for each week. Furthermore, there is a link to the relevant section of the book below each video.

The underlined readings are particularly important as they provide important intuitive approaches to solving circuits problems.

Homework: 

Homework will be issued during each week, and must be completed by the friday of the following week. Late homework will not be accepted. However, total homework grade will be based on the best ten out of twelve individual homework grades. Thus, two homework assignments may be missed without a grade penalty. According to the honor code you have signed, you are not allowed to post answers to homework problems.

Labs:
Like homeworks, the labs will be issued during each week, and must be completed by the friday of the following week. Late labs will not be accepted. However, your total lab grade will be based on the best ten out of twelve individual lab grades. Thus, two lab assignments may be missed without a grade penalty.

Tutorials:

Optional tutorials showing how to solve 6.002x problems or labs will be available.

Midterm and Final Exam:

6.002x will include a midterm and a final exam. We will announce with the exams the deadline by which you must complete them (typically, 1 or 2 days later).

In this prototype version of 6.002x, MITx will not require that you be tested in a testing center or otherwise have your identity certified. You are welcome and encouraged to collaborate with others on the exercises, homeworks and labs.

However, the midterm and the final exams must be worked on your own. In addition, once you view an exam, you must work on your own till you have submitted all your work, and do not discuss the exam until the deadline for exam submissions is past. Also, you are not allowed to post answers
to exam problems.

Although the exams will be open book, we encourage you to create a couple of sheets of notes for each exam. These notes will not only help you prepare, but they will also serve as a convenient reference during the exam. You may also use a calculator.

Exercises, homeworks and labs are critical to learning the material and for doing well on the exams. With a high likelihood, one or more of the exercise, homework or lab problems will appear in each of the exams.

Grading: Grades will be based on the following weighting: homeworks 15%, labs 15%, midterm 30%, and final exam 40%.

Each of the homeworks and labs carries equal weight.
