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

• 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.

My best female MIT student learned to fly at ten,
bought and fixed an airplane at sixteen after three of
the same model planes had crashed due to weak
constructions.
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

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.

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
