And then we play some games and do some art projects, all aroundvarious science concepts." Rankin, who is also in the process of designing and programming educational video games to complement her science programs, is a strong proponent of making educational materials available to the widest possible audience. She herself uses materials from "all over the place," and is never sure where or when something she has learned will emerge in her work. In her estimation, MITs OpenCourseWare, which she discovered several years ago through an article in the online edition of The New York Times, will be useful to her over a long period of

MONEY WOULD VANISH WITHOUT DEBT It is difficult for Americans to come to grips with the fact that their total money-supply is backed by nothing but debt, and it is even more mind boggling to visualize that, if everyone paid back all that was borrowed, there would be no money left in existence. That's right, there would not be one penny in circulation -- all coins and all paper currency would be returned to bank vaults -- and there would be not one dollar in any one's checking account. In short, all money would disappear. Marriner Eccles was the Governor of the Federal Reserve System in 1941. On September 30 of that year, Eccles was asked to give testimony before the House Committee on Banking and Currency. The purpose of the hearing was to obtain information regarding the role of the Federal Reserve in creating conditions that led to the depression of the 1930s. Congressman Wright Patman, who was Chairman of that committee, asked how the Fed got the money to purchase two billion dollars worth of government bonds in 1933. This is the exchange that followed. Eccles: We created it. Patman: Out of what? Eccles: Out of the right to issue credit money. Patman: And there is nothing behind it, is there, except our government's credit? Eccles: That is what our money system is. If there were no debts in our money system, there wouldn't be any money. It must be realized that, while money may represent an asset to selected individuals, when it is considered as an aggregate of...

http://ocw.mit.edu - at SWRMC as overseeing lots of industrial processes (anything from fixing a pump to overhauling a gun) — and he is constantly looking for ways to streamline these processes. This quest led him to MITs OpenCourseWare several years ago, while browsing for information on lean manufacturing. "Lean is a tool that industry has been using for the last couple of years," explains Gannon, "focusing on process improvement, and minimizing waste. I was looking generically for lean information, and stumbled across OCW. I was really impressed. This site is a true intellectual gem. They have a couple of lean classes in the engineering section, such as Course ESD.60 Lean/Six Sigma Processes,that were very useful." MIT OCW has also proved

THE MANDRAKE MECHANISM . . . The method by which the Federal Reserve creates money out of nothing; the concept of usury as the payment of interest on pretended loans; the true cause of the hidden tax called inflation; the way in which the Fed creates boom-bust cycles. In the 1940s, there was a comic strip character called Mandrake the Magician. His specialty was creating things out of nothing and, when appropriate, to make them disappear back into that same void. It is fitting, therefore, that the process to be described in this section should be named in his honor. In the previous chapters, we examined the technique developed by the political and monetary scientists to create money out of nothing for the purpose of lending. This is not an entirely accurate description because it implies that money is created first and then waits for someone to borrow it. On the other hand, textbooks on banking often state that money is created out of debt. This also is misleading because it implies that debt exists first and then is converted into money. In truth, money is not created until the instant it is borrowed. It is the act of borrowing which causes it to spring into existence. And, incidentally, it is the act of paying off the debt that causes it to vanish. There is no short phrase that perfectly describes that process. So, until one is invented along the way, we shall continue using the phrase "create money out of nothing" and occasionally add "for the purpose of lending"...

And in the process, more students will learn about the site. Students need to know that these things are available." 15 STUDENT Setting a standard Saud Khan, student at Mohammad Ali Jinnah University in Pakistan Saud Khan, currently in the final year of a Masters program in Telecommunications Engineering at Mohammad Ali Jinnah University in Pakistan, has been using the resources of MITs OpenCourseWare for several years now. Khan, who is specializing in digital signal processing and adaptive filters, is about to begin a thesis on adaptive beam-forming, a process that has applications

In fact, his MBA thesis detailed techniques for improving new product development through value engineering. But Wixson had designed courses from scratch before, and he knew from experience how arduous and time-consuming the process could be. "I learned the hard way," Wixson chuckles. "The last course took such a long time... So I thought this time, Ill do a little research, and find out what other people are doing out there." Wixsons research led him to MITs Course 15.783J Product Design and Development on the OpenCourseWare Web site, and he was

Management.com.ua serves as a learning community in the Ukrainian, Russian, and English languages, offering Internet forum discussions on such topics as leadership and authority, quality issues, and motivating employees, to name a few. "We think we can form interesting discussion groups around the use of OCW materials," Matiash said. "If the process is moderated well, this would add value todifferent audiences." For example, the preparatory questions and materials from MIT OCW's Course 15.269: Literature, Ethics, and Authority are helpful

In fact, Hall credits the 6.837s labs — which he completed over the course of several months — with not only fine-tuning his existing skills, but also adding new techniques to his repertoire. The whole process, according to Hall, saved him "an enormous amount of time and stress." Based on this experience, Hall plans to use a subset of the lectures and labs in his own course next semester. The MIT OCW resource has enabled Hall to offer a course at what he calls a "stunning" level of quality. One of the best things about the MIT OCW computer graphics materials, reports Hall, is how quickly and completely the students are empowered. "The students can get to the fun stuff immediately," Hall notes.
