  I was born in Switzerland, in the town of Geneva. My parents loved each other very much, and I learnt from the example of their love. I learnt that to love and to be patient are the most important things in the world.
  My mother hoped to have a daughter after I was born, but for five years I was the only child. And then my mother found a sister for me. She was helping a family in which there were five children. They were very poor, and the children were thin and hungry. One of the children was a little girl, with golden hair and blue eyes. Her name was Elizabeth. My mother took the little girl into our family, and Elizabeth became the daughter that my mother had always wanted. As I grew older, my love for Elizabeth became stronger all the time.
  Later my mother had two other sons, Ernest and William. A young woman called Justine came to live in the house to help my mother with the children. We loved her as much as she loved us.
  The years passed happily, and we had everything that we needed. At school I met another very fine person. His name was Henry Clerval, and he was very clever. My family also liked him very much, so he was a welcome visitor to our house.
  I studied very hard at school. I wanted to know the secrets of life, and, most of all, I wanted to know how to make living things. I read all the books that I could find. One day, something happened that added a new idea to the ideas that I already had. I was fifteen at the time, and we were on holiday in the mountains. There was a wild storm, and with it came the most frightening thunder and lightning that I had ever seen in my life. About twenty metres in front of our house was a great tree. Suddenly a huge fork of lightning hit the tree. After a few seconds, there was nothing left of it except a black piece of wood two metres high. The lightning had destroyed it.
  I saw how strong electricity was. I began to read all the books that I could find about electricity and its terrible power.

【摘 要】 目前,采用远程教学方法的高等教育机构,无论是其机构性质、目标服务群体、经费来源还是所开设的专业/课程,都存在很大差异。本文旨在讨论不同类型的远程高等教育机构在数字化时代所面临的挑战,这些挑战具体表现在以下6个方面:远程大学与校园式大学之间的界限越来越模糊;技术和教学基础设施的变化;从服务一国到面向全球;寻找学术界和产业界合适的合作伙伴的迫切需要;探索质量保证机制;发展中国家与发达国家之
国际开放与远程教育协会(ICDE)将携手西班牙UOC、南非远程教育学会(SAIDE)共同开发教师培训者课程,以提供高质量的远程开放在线学习。这一倡议在2013年初发起,并收到七份优秀的提案,旨在重新整合优质的开放教育资源,并开发出一套精致的开放在线课程来指导学习活动。  这一项目最初的重点目标是非洲。该项目不仅与UNESCO提出的创立“一个文化世界的全球联盟”的目标相一致,而且与非洲(非洲委员会)
【摘 要】  “两校一体”院校反映了中国远程教育发展过程中出现的独特现象,其中的原因十分复杂,既有现实原因,也有历史考量,更有地方利益和体制因素的多重文化因素交织。“两校一体”院校转型建设开放大学,可以说既是一种无奈的现实选择,也是国内外远程教育发展的必然选择,更是中国开放大学办学模式的理想选择。重庆广播电视大学作为“两校一体”院校,在转型创建重庆开放大学的实践中,形成了切合实际的路径和步骤,不断
【摘 要】  移动学习是近年来出现的新型学习方式,移动学习资源是开展移动学习的重要保障。目前移动学习资源设计研究仅强调了资源设计的片段式和微型化,忽视了资源知识点之间的内在关联,一定程度上影响了学习者进行持续而系统的有效学习,降低了移动学习效率。本文首先分析了移动学习资源设计的影响因素,提出了移动学习资源的设计原则,其次将概念图设计思想引入移动学习资源设计中,并从设计可行性、概念图优化以及设计流程

6月一来,又到了时装周的季节。有一阵,看秀时,老有人问我,你觉得怎么样?我每次都嗯嗯啊啊对付过去。有一次,实在是绕不过去了,那是在巴黎一家老餐馆的长桌上,在上主菜之前的空隙,对面的女士又一次抛出~-8问题。她笑眯眯地托着下巴,饶有兴致地等着。左手边的男士也放下了刀叉。  于是我问左边那位,看过《权力的游戏》吗?他点点头。  我说,还记不记得第一季开头,小恶魔提利昂去绝境长城撒尿的故事,他去那儿其实
广州市的创新探索及其成果和经验,包括他们提出的问题及解决这些问题的思路,如同与会专家所说,对于越来越受到关注的学习型社会特别是学习型城市建设,确实可以提供多方面的启示和借鉴。我赞成这样的看法:利用现代信息技术推进学习型城市建设的“广州模式”呼之欲出。当然,作为“模式”可能还有必要进一步总结和提升,所涉及的不少问题也有待于在实践中继续探索和逐步解决。但所谓“模式”本来就不可能超越特定的历史阶段,或者
[编者按] “敢探未发明的新理,即是创造精神;敢入未开化的边疆,即是开辟精神”。广州市在建设学习型城市过程中,积极推进学习型社会建设体制机制的改革,高度重视将数字化学习方式作为推进学习型社会建设的重要手段,注重发挥广州市广播电视大学在建设学习型社会中的优势作用,取得了显著成效。广州市广播电视大学主动承担服务与引领学习型城市建设的使命,着力探索信息技术与教育的深度融合,在理念、机制与价值取向诸层面进
