O que é este blog?

Este blog trata basicamente de ideias, se possível inteligentes, para pessoas inteligentes. Ele também se ocupa de ideias aplicadas à política, em especial à política econômica. Ele constitui uma tentativa de manter um pensamento crítico e independente sobre livros, sobre questões culturais em geral, focando numa discussão bem informada sobre temas de relações internacionais e de política externa do Brasil.

6.5660 Computer Systems Security

This course page links to a faculty-managed site where you can find materials on the design and implementation of secure computer systems, arranged in a clear, well-organized format. The lectures address some of the attacks that compromise security as well as techniques for achieving security, with topics including operating system security, privilege separation, capabilities, language-based security, cryptographic network protocols, trusted hardware, and security in web applications and mobile phones. The course’s labs involve implementing and compromising a web application that sandboxes arbitrary code, supporting TLS certificates, and adding two-factor authentication. All the course materials are available for reuse under a Creative Commons license.

17.588 Field Seminar in Comparative Politics

This graduate-level seminar aims to provide the conceptual and analytical tools necessary to conduct research in comparative politics and to acquaint students with key topics in the field. The extensive reading list focuses on foundational material, including classics, modern classics, and recent work. For each week, a list of additional recommended readings provides a more extended bibliography for those who wish to do further reading on their own in preparation for comprehensive exams or for original research on the subject. Finally, an appendix provides a useful framework for approaching the readings, along with weekly discussion questions to guide your exploration of this rich set of materials.

21H.336 The Making of a Roman Emperor

Through close examination of the emperor Augustus and his Julio-Claudian successors, this undergraduate-level course investigates how Roman emperors used art, architecture, coinage, and other media to create and project an image of themselves to the world, how the surviving literary sources from the Roman period reinforced or subverted that image, and how both phenomena have contributed to post-classical perceptions of Roman emperors. It also considers works of Suetonius and Tacitus as well as modern representations of the emperors such as those found in the films 
I, Claudius and Quo Vadis and in HBO’s Rome series. Be sure to check out the image-rich lecture slides that provide a compelling visual history as well!

RES.STS-001 MIT Project on Embodied Education

The MIT Project on Embodied Education aims to encourage educators to integrate physical activity in their students’ learning at all levels—for example, teaching elementary school math through yoga, middle school physics through martial arts, high school science through swimming, and college history through dance. By following an external link from the pointer page on MIT OpenCourseWare, you can access brief explanations of the research that affirms the value of this kind of mind-body integration, as well as a library of lesson plans and ideas to make it easier for educators to incorporate elements of embodiment in their own teaching.

A recent Medium article by MIT Open Learning highlights the range of introductory-level courses that are available online from MIT, with offerings running the gamut of the sciences, technology, engineering, arts and humanities, and mathematics. Many of the courses listed in the article are certificate-granting MOOCs (massive open online courses) on EdX, xPRO, or MITx Online, but two of the ten featured STEM courses (6.S095 Programming for the Puzzled and 18.01 Calculus I) are from MIT OpenCourseWare, as are all five of the listed arts and humanities courses.

From research developments to new learning opportunities, MIT Open Learning marked multiple achievements in 2024 that deepened our commitment to open education and the science of teaching and learning. Here at MIT OpenCourseWare, we’re especially inspired by learner stories like those of Sujood Eldouma and June Odongo, already featured in this month’s newsletter, as well as Bernardo Picão and Tomás Orellana who show us the power of free, open educational materials to transform one’s life and to improve the world. Read about them and other noteworthy stories of 2024 in this article on the exciting research, teaching, and innovating happening at MIT Open Learning. We look forward to another year with you!
