Online Education
Good morning, everybody. In today’s lecture, we will talk about online education. You know in some parts of the world, it is not that easy for people to receive education. And even in the United Sates where education is available, it might not be within reach. Thus, online cours provided by tho world famous universities can bring the best quality education to as many people as we could around the world, and for free.
First, let’s talk a little bit about some of the components that go into online ed ucation. (1) The first component is that when you move away from the constraints of a physical classroom and design content for an online format, you can break away from, for example, the one-hour lecture format. You can break up the material, for example, into short, modular units of 8 to 12 minutes, （2）and each of the short unit introduces a coherent concept. Students can deal with this material in different ways, depending on their background, their skills or their interests. So, for example, some students might benefit from a little bit of preparatory material that other students might already have. Other students might be interested in a particular topic that they want to pursue individually. So this format allows students to break away from the one-size-fits-all model of education, （3）and allows students to follow a much more personalized curriculum. Second, and perhaps one of the biggest components of our online education is that we need to have students who practice with the material i
n order to re ally understand it. There’s been a range of studies that demonstrate the importance of this. A study in Science last year, for example, demonstrates that even simple retrieval practice, where students are just suppod to repeat what they already learned gives considerably improved results on various achievement tests.
（4）So we need to build in much more meaningful practice questions. （5）Now, fortunately, technology has helped us to provide the students with feedback on tho questions. We can now grade a range of interesting types of homework online.
(6)The third component is what is called collaborative learning. Students could collaborate in different online cours in a variety of ways. (7) First of all, there was a
question and answer forum, where students could po questions, and other students could answer the questions. And what is really amazing is that, becau there were so many students, it means that even if a student pod a question at 3 o’clock in the morning, somewhere around the world, there would be somebody who was awake and working on the same problem, and he might answer that question. And so, in many of the online cour, the median respon time for a question on the question and answer forum was 22 minutes.
So in a word, if we wanted to offer top quality education to everyone around the world for free, what would that affect us?Three things. (8) First, it would establish education as a fundamental human right, where anyone around the world with the ability and the motivation could get the skills they need. (9) Second, it would enable lifelong learning. It’s a shame that for so many of us, learning stops when we finish high school or when we finish college. By making this amazing content available, we would be able to lea rn something new every time we wanted, whether it’s just to expand our minds or it’s to change our lives. (10) And finally, this would make a wave of innovation possible, becau amazing talent can be found everywhere.
To sum up today, we have talked about some features of online education and its benefits. We are sure that online education will have a promising future. In the next lecture, we are going to learn how online education has changed people around the world.

M: Well, for years, people have been trying to keep up with the Jones, but instead of competing with your neighbors, how about actually trying to get along with them? Joining us with some simple tips on how to deal with tho likeable and not so likable neighbors is Betty Wong; she is the Executive Editor of Family Circle magazine. Good morning, Betty.
W: Good morning, Allen.
M: Well, in an ideal world, I guess we would all get along with our neighbors, wouldn’t we? W: Right, right. We hope so.
M : But how do we establish a good relationship? When you move into a neighborhood, right,
should you reach out to the neighbors or should they be reaching out to you?
W: I think it could work either way. I mean, certainly, if they don’t reach out to you, don’t assume that they are being rude or unfriendly. They just might be holding back becau they think you are too busy. So if they don’t make that first step, you know, after a few days, go ahead and introduce yourlf.
M: Yeah, neighbors can be really helpful, but of cour they can also be annoying. For example, neighbors who make a lot of noi.
W: Well. Loud music is one of tho top complaints, and I think you know for most reasons… people, they probably aren’t even aware that they are causing problems for their neighbors. And I think if you bring it up to your neighbors’ attentio n they will be more than happy to fix it. You could say something like, you know, I’m kind of, I’m really a light sleeper or I suffer from headache. Can you help me out by, you know, turning down the music during tho evening hours or the early morning or come up with a compromi that works for both of you.读书小报的内容写什么
M: Don’t just call the police, right? Which a lot of people do.
内存条多少钱W: Of cour, no.
M: Right, then what about a nosy neighbor.
W: Right, I think a lot of time as we may mistake nosy behavior for being, you know, nosy or poky when they are just being kind of trying to be friendly, or maybe that person’s lonely. It’s…. You kind of have to e what the motive is there, and oftentimes, if you are little evasive, or, you just don’t answer their question, they often take the hint and back off.
M: And the neighbor that comes to visit and wont go way?
W: Well, I think, you know that, there might be somebody who is just really lonely and wants a friend. You know oftentimes I think the rule is a five or ten minute-visit, is fine. Becau you know that way you are not imposing on that person’s schedule or that person’s plan. But you know, you don’t have to be best friends with your neighbor at all, you can just be polite, and say hello in the morning, and that makes everybody’s relationship so much better.
M: Well, that’s important. Betty Wong, thanks so much for the tips we appreciate from Family Circle magazine and for more on this topic and others, head to the Early Show website

They measured each roommate’s tendency towards negative thinking.／It was found that thinking patterns can be contagious.／Students with a negative thinking roommate became more depresd themlves, ／and students with more positive thinking roommates／were more likely to become more positive as well.
