issue of this newsletter.
2. 2005 User Survey
----------------------------------------------------------------
In order to understand the extent to which MIT OCW is meeting its
goals, and to establish a continuous feedback process, we have
integrated a substantial evaluation program. Evaluation is essential
for two reasons:
Tracking the usability of MIT OCW enables us to continually improve
the Web site's features and services, and will help us set the
long-term direction of MIT OCW to maintain the project's relevance
over time.
By measuring use, and demonstrating the impact of MIT OCW and the
educational materials the MIT faculty offer through it, we will be
able to encourage other institutions to consider sharing their
materials through similar efforts.
Over the course of the next month, visitors to the MIT OCW Web site
will receive a pop-up window asking them to fill out a user survey.
This survey, the third such annual user survey we have instrumented
since the launch of MIT OCW in 2002, will be in effect for the next
month. Results will be published on the MIT OCW Web site in early
2006. To read more about MIT OCW's approach to evaluation, visit
<http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Global/AboutOCW/evaluation.htm>http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Global/AboutOCW/evaluation.htm.
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. 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. Tufts University OCW
----------------------------------------------------------------
<http://www.tufts.edu/main.php?p=flash>Tufts University, with
campuses in Boston, Medford, Somerville and Grafton, MA, has a global
reputation for academic and research excellence, and innovation. The
<http://ocw.tufts.edu/>Tufts OpenCourseWare project demonstrate
Tufts' strength in the life sciences, as well a multidisciplinary
approach, an international perspective, and an underlying ethic of
service to the university's local, national, and international
communities.
