Teaching in Chinese High Schools
This project is the foundation of CETI and has been ongoing since 1997.
Teams of three MIT students spend six to eight weeks at two high schools
in China - one in a large city, and the other in a small town. Each team
is responsible for developing its own unique curriculum and teaching a
class of approximately 25 students. See the 2007 Participants section
for detailed information.
MIT-China - OpenCourseWare Initiative
The goal of this project is to introduce the concept and benefits of MIT OCW
to students and educators at universities in China's western regions. The MIT-China - OpenCourseWare
Initiative ran its pilot project in 2004 at Qinghai University located
just outside the city of Xining. Five MIT students spent six weeks at QU
teaching 60 students the fundamentals of Computer Science, Biology and
Environmental Engineering using materials from the OCW site. The pilot project
was a success, and since 2004 CETI has sent OCW teams to universities in
Beijing, Chengdu, Hangzhou, Kunming, and Xi'an. For more information about the
MIT-China - OpenCourseWare project, see the 2007 Particpants section and the MIT-China website.

MIT iCampus - MISTI Initiative
The MIT International Science and Technology Initiatives (MISTI) is pleased
to announce a collaboration with the MIT iCampus Outreach Initiative. This
is an opportunity for students interested in helping MIT disseminate specific
iCampus project educational technology to universities in foreign countries,
with an initial focus on China. The specific iCampus projects for which
dissemination and adoption internships are offered include:
- Remote Laboratories Online (iLabs)
- Online lectures and interactive homework (XTutor)
- Project-based Engineering Design (RobotWorld)
- Technology Enabled Active Learning (TEAL, 8.02T)
- MIT Online Assessment Tool (iMOAT)
We are particularly interested in sponsoring teams to work with Chinese universities
on creating and sharing online laboratories (see information on MIT iLabs) as
well as to teach the use of online materials from 8.02, 6.001, and 6.034.
If you are interested in assisting faculty at selected Chinese universities to adopt
and use iCampus educational technologies in classes, please mark that
on that on your application. iCampus does not requite any additional
appication questions.
