MIT OpenCourseWare: I'm invested

quite simply

@Students: If you are in need of any kind of academic help, log in and write a brief new post, especially in case you feel the ideally suited individual could answer much quicker or better than those you know directly.

@Teachers: If you have ever tasted the immense satisfaction that comes from giving someone the exact answer or explanation they needed, log in and offer your time and help in your area of work.

@Researchers or others: Write a post to find someone around the world who best complements your range of knowledge for the purposes of your research.

While the website is unheard of, responses may be thin. If you use it or if the concept appeals to you, kindly help promote the website, sharing or linking from your blogs or pages. Rising membership will raise value for every member, new and old. At a later stage, visitors could first search through calls and offers.

Details on writing posts and how it should work are here. The service attempts to remain simple, quick and hassle-free. For one, you do not need yet another new account. You can use an OpenID. (Your existing Google, Hotmail, Yahoo, FaceBook or MySpace accounts, among many others, readily provide you one.) However, we do like to register a valid email address. Contrary to what most services assure you, we do publish it. Right atop your post, in fact. Not to worry though, while human visitors can read it, spambots cannot. The only purpose is to enable people to communicate the moment they find a match to their interests. We have no commercial interests, including in your contact details. (Consult the relevant policy here.)

You will find the five latest calls and offers below, with an excerpt from the last one posted. (Currently there are less than five.) At the very bottom is the latest post from the admin.

Meta-knowledge

Loosely coined it to mean ‘knowledge about knowledge’. More precisely, what we hope to see on this post is ‘knowledge about knowledge exchange’. What are experts saying on the art of teaching? On modes or methods in education? Do you have an interesting anecdote about an instructor’s style? Through comments to this post, share anything you think concerns how we may improve transfer of knowledge.
