And you heard of this example, where, when we launched our very first course
大家应听说过这个事例，当时我们推出了第一档课程，
and this was an MIT-hard circuits and electronics course -- about a year and a half ago, 155,000 students from 162 countries enrolled in this course.
麻省理工学院的电路与电子技术课程，大约一年半以前，来自162个国家的155,000名学生注册了这档课程。
And we had no marketing budget. Now, 155,000 is a big number.

This number is bigger than the total number of alumni of MIT in its 150-year history.

7,200 students passed the course, and this was a hard course. 7,200 is also a big number.

If I were to teach at MIT two semesters every year, I would have to teach for 40 years before I could teach this many students.

Now these large numbers are just one part of the story.
这些大数目都只是故事的一部分而已。
So today, I want to discuss a different aspect, the other side of MOOCs, take a different perspective.
所以今天，我想以一个不一样的视角讨论网络公开课的另一面。
We are taking what we develop and learn in the large and applying it in the small to the classroom, to create a blended model of learning.
我们将大量拓展和学习到的知识应用在局部，到教室里来创建混合的学习模式。
But before I go into that, let me tell you a story.
但在谈到那之前，我先讲一个故事。
When my daughter turned 13, became a teenager, she stopped speaking English, and she began speaking this new language.
我女儿满13岁时，步入少年时期，她讲的不再是英语，而是开始说这种新的语言。
