大學教育的理想 • 學問:上学是要学如何提问，此谓之“學问” • 大學是通過深入的討論提高學生的智慧和邏 輯，以開發知識。學課程不僅要傳授知識 （傳道)，還要指導學生應用知識,解決未知 （受業) 和他們的困惑 (解惑） • “四書”:大學、中庸 （傳道 ) – 論語、孟子 (受業 ,解惑） • 3種智能: 演繹 – 歸納 – 情商
大學教育的理想 • 傳道、授業、解惑 • 教育執行和領導能力, 做更好的業務 • 精神生活教育: 如何前進，領導自己的 生命, 勇於變革 • 毒油，米，水: 我會做什麼，如果我是 一個年輕需要餵養家庭的員工? • 用科學的方法，分析你做事的方式: – 強忍內心的騷動去餵養家庭? – 犧牲自己的情感去追求成功和金錢?
Students • Instead of sitting passively in class, listening to lessons or waiting to be questioned, • There will be a more collaborative approach, with students • actively studying by themselves, • taking part in discussions, working in smaller groups to solve problems while improving their understanding and communication skills.
Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) • Online course aimed at unlimited free participation and open access via the web • One can study any where at any time • Make the changes in education that are necessary for industry and modern society. • A different kind of education to prepare people for working life. “Young people use quite advanced computers.”
edX is better than MIT OCW • Higher resolution • Team developed • The HW and exams in edX are renewed each year while they remain the same for OCW • edX has on-line alive discussion, HW and exams • edX contains a lot more courses from other 1st rate universities
Education for the 21 century • In addition to Subject-specific lessons – physics, math, history, language, geography etc. • “Phenomenon” teaching – teaching by crosssubject topics such as – – – –
Graphene Nano devices European Union Method of discovery and invention
Subject-specific lessons – physics, math, history, language, geography etc.
• Lewin typically spent 40 to 50 hours preparing for each lecture, rehearsing the 50-minute production two or three times— the last on the morning of class. His lecture notes, which are preserved and proudly displayed in a series of binders on his office shelves, reveal an intense drive for both precision and drama.
Subject specific 8.01x, 8.02x, 8.03x • 94 course lectures in High Resolution (8.01x, 8.02x and 8.03) all in High Resolution • 13 miscellaneous lectures • 10 hr Help Sessions 8.01 (85 problems)10 hr Help Sessions 8.02 (58 problems) • https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiEHV hv0SBMpP75JbzJShqw/playlists
Lewin’s 8 talks on NHK TV in Japan + 8.01x and 8.02x lectures • https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiEHV hv0SBMpP75JbzJShqw click on "Playlists". • Lectures are being viewed more than 11,000 times daily or 4 million per year. • "For the Love of Physics" has been viewed 1.6 million times to this day.
• Most downloaded list: MIT-Levine,哈佛 Michael San-del「正義：一場思辨之旅」, UCB- Hubert Dreyfus (Philosophy), Stanford-Leonard Susskind (QM), YaleAstrophysics with Charles Bailyn, Modern Poetry with Langdon Hammer and Introduction to the Old Testament with Christine Hayes. • Compared Richard Feynman, iconic brilliant scientist, larger than life and totally accessible.
• “Through your inspiring video lectures i have managed to see just how BEAUTIFUL Physics is, both astounding and simple,” a 17-year-old from India e-mailed recently. • Steve Boigon, 62, a florist from San Diego, wrote, “I walk with a new spring in my step and I look at life through physics-colored eyes.”
• In his lectures at ocw.mit.edu, Professor Lewin beats a student with cat fur to demonstrate electrostatics. • He rides a fire-extinguisher-propelled tricycle across his classroom to show how a rocket lifts off. • 這種超級名師。他們將在全球享有 – NOT 好萊塢明星般的知名度。 – But 新聞主播的知名度。
• “You are now my Scientific Father. In spite of the bad occupation and war against my lovely IRAQ, you made me love USA because you are there and MIT is there.” • Professor Lewin revels in his fan mail and in the idea that he is spreading the love of physics. “Teaching is my life,” he said. • Teaching required courses made him realize “that what really counts is to make them love science.” • He said he spent 25 hours preparing each new lecture, choreographing every detail and stripping out every extra sentence.
“Phenomenon” • Fit for the 21st century.” • For education to promote character, resilience and communication skills, rather than just pushing students through “exam factories”. • With input from more than one subject specialist.

Legitimacy of on-line degrees anti-cheating technology • Uses webcams to scan students’ face and knuckles to verify identities before tests • Monitor computer and record video • Prevents opening apps or web browsers during online exams • Proctors students remotely over webcams • Scans exam papers for copied passages • Changes positions or lighting can flag false violation!
Goals of TMM • “Subject and phenomenon-based teaching” • Playful solutions to students’ learning,” • Philosophy: “We want students to learn in active, happy, relaxed and inspired atmosphere.” • “Joyful learning”. More collaboration and communication between students to develop creative thinking skills.
How Do You Say Global Competition? • • • • • •
Global competition is real Languages are increasingly important Everyone must learn English and Chinese + one additional foreign language: Most useful ones are Arabic, German, and Indian. English is the business language of the world, but only minimal information is translated • With English, you get a partial picture
Collaboration between THU Physics and MIT Physics • • • •
edX is mature and reliable for MOOCs Each course developed by a team of specialists Completed with lectures, new HW and exams Weak points of edX and MOOC: • Lack of in-person discussions, • Credits are not recognized
TMM at Tunghai • Collaboration confirmed 4/2013 • First trial: summer course on MIT Mechanics Review • 8.01x Mechanics in fall • 8.02x E&M in springs • Two full-tuition scholarships • 70% entrance level, ~10% reach MIT level

TMM model three components 傳道, 授業, 解惑 • Prof. Walter Lewin’s open courses: well documented; • Tunghai added subtitles and additional explanations in Chinese. • To practice knowledge: we follow up lectures with timed and proctored exercises, quizzes, experiments, exams and oral exams to ensure students learn how to apply the knowledge acquired. • To solve the unknown or puzzles related to these courses. • In this model, Tunghai uses MIT MOOCs for THU SPOCs with flipped classroom and proctored exams, and successful students will earn both THU’s credits and a completion certificate from Lewin plus a Tunghai scholarship.

• 3門新edX課程 或 • 30個獲得EDX大學學分的學生
My second proposal with NT600k/year from
• Any Tunghai student(s) from any department could propose to a Tunghai Prof. to supervise taking an edX courses together. • Prof. gets a teaching credit (~1/4 of a normal course) • Student(s) get – edX Associated University academic credits and certificate – Scholarship
Pending problems and solutions • 「2016大限」: 台灣大學新生數目遽降數萬人 • Each Department of Tunghai should use TMM to distinguish itself from other universities to attract new students • 東海-MIT-教學模式
