Moreover, CORE’s achievements have got much attention from many supportive people interested in commonweal and CORE has constantly received e-mails and calls asking for information. Some of them wanted to know how to be a member of CORE, some to discuss the questions about translation, and some to make some contribution to the commonweal. After having evaluated the translated courses, MIT gave high praise for the work CORE has done. Prof. Farnaz Haghseta from MIT OCW sent an e-mail to CORE office to approve the quality of translation. So far, MIT OCW has linked CORE’s website on their homepage http://ocw.mit.edu and logo of CORE has appeared on MIT OCW’s homepage. CORE, partnered with MIT, has devoted itself to the progress of open education movement of China and the world. Everyday there are about 5000 individuals visiting CORE’s website. We believe that with the efforts of everyone, more and more people will pay a good deal attention to open education and CORE.   close
