2. A Frequently Asked Question
----------------------------------------------------------------
QUESTION: What is an "IAP" course?
ANSWER: The Independent Activities Period (IAP) is a special
four-week term held each year at MIT that runs from the first week of
January until the end of the month. For more than three decades, IAP
has provided members of the MIT community (students, faculty, staff,
and alumni) with a unique opportunity to organize, sponsor, and
participate in a wide variety of activities, including how-to
sessions, forums, athletic endeavors, lecture series, films, tours,
and contests. For students and faculty, IAP also offers opportunities
for creativity in teaching and learning. Students are encouraged to
set their own educational agendas, pursue independent projects, meet
with faculty, or pursue many other options not possible during the
semester. Faculty are free to introduce innovative educational
experiments as IAP activities. Several of these educational
experiments are published on the MIT OCW Web site as complete
courses:
<http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Chemistry/5-301January--IAP-2004/CourseHome/index.htm>Course
5.301 Chemistry Laboratory Techniques, IAP 2004, for example,
includes a series of chemistry laboratory instructional videos called
the
<http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Chemistry/5-301January--IAP-2004/StudyMaterials/index.htm>Digital
Lab Techniques Manual (DLTM) that are used as supplementary material
for this course, as well as other courses offered by the MIT
Department of Chemistry. Read more about
<http://web.mit.edu/iap/>MIT's Independent Activities Period.
3. Johns Hopkins School of Public Health OCW
----------------------------------------------------------------
The <http://www.jhsph.edu/index.html>Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School
of Public Health (JHSPH) in Baltimore, MD, is world-renowned as a
leading international authority on public health. Every day, JHSPH
works to keep millions around the world safe from illness and injury
by pioneering new research, deploying its knowledge and expertise in
the field and educating tomorrow's scientists and practitioners in
the global defense of human life. The <http://ocw.jhsph.edu>Johns
Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health's Opencourseware project
provides access to the school's most popular courses.
4. Utah State University OCW
----------------------------------------------------------------
<http://www.usu.edu/>Utah State University (USU) is one of the
nation's premier student-centered land-grant and space-grant
universities. Located in Logan City, UT, USU faculty receive national
recognition for their teaching and research, and USU can count four
Goldwater Scholars and a Rhodes Scholar among its graduates in recent
years. <http://ocw.usu.edu>USU Opencourseware supports USU's
institutional mission to serve the public through learning,
discovery, and engagement. As USU enters the 21st century, services
like OpenCourseWare enable the University to more fully accomplish
its land-grant mission.
----------------------------------------------------------------
<http://ocw.mit.edu>MIT OpenCourseWare (MIT OCW) is a large-scale,
