The Ancient Greek Hero

　　【说明】近日接到本会副主席纳吉（Gregory Nagy）教授发来的课程说明，委托本网通过适当的方式传达这门课程的信息，并代表他本人、课程读者会和课程教学小组诚挚地欢迎大家尤其是青年学子前往注册。参与人完成一定的课时并达到基本的课业要求，将会通过评估获得受课证书（a certificate of mastery）。这里也请大家相互转告。谢谢各位的关注和支持！

　　《古希腊英雄》(HarvardX: CB22x The Ancient Greek Hero)是哈佛大学通过其数字教育平台HarvardX提供一门免费、开放注册的在线课程。这门课程通过研究何谓古希腊时期的英雄来探讨何谓今天的人类。参与者通过英语译文将徜徉在一些最优美的古代希腊文学作品中。通过细读、分析和对话，我们将揭示以我们的现代价值观去解读这些文本的危险，而代之以一种归纳方式去“读出”文本的示范法。这种方法允许仅有些许相关知识甚或没有任何经验的读者开始去发见这样的文学乃为一种精致的、完美的交流系统。

　　【课程背景】数字教育平台(edX)是哈佛大学和麻省理工学院联合创建的非盈利机构，以通过网络互动研究而特别设计的学习方式为特征。基于两校历史悠久的协作和共享的教育使命，创始双方正在以反映其学科广度的在线课程创造一种新的在线学习体验。随着在线课程的提供，该机制将使用edX来研究学生是如何学习，而技术又是如何让学习转型的，同时兼顾校园和世界两个维度。麻省理工学院的计算机科学与人工智能实验室的前主任Anant Agarwal出任edX首任主席。EdX的目标包括接触所有年龄段的学生、手段及国家的愿望，通过反映受众多样性的教职人员传递这些教学活动。EdX位于马萨诸塞州剑桥市，由麻省理工学院和哈佛大学共同监理。

　　以下为2013年秋学季课程通告：

Dear Friends,

On behalf of Gregory Nagy, the Board of Readers, and our whole community, we want to thank you for your enrollment in the first session of CB22x "The Ancient Greek Hero"!

Our goal from the start was to foster a global and ongoing dialogue where participants could engage with ancient texts and with each other in a meaningful way. Since launching the project in March 2013, we have enrolled over 36,000 independent learners from over 170 countries. We are inspired by the dedication of our participants and the supportive community that has developed over these few months. While we still have a great deal to learn and refine, we are encouraged by the feedback we are receiving.

We also want to invite you to join the second session of "The Ancient Greek Hero", which starts now and runs through December. This second session will feature the same core content, but with upgrades in a few key areas.

Community Support -- We are synchronizing the schedules and content of the edX project with the related courses at Harvard. That means all the members of our community can read together and interact through the edX Discussion Board. And in the Discussion Board you will find more Community TAs and Mentors to answer questions and provide feedback.

Flexible Pacing -- While we suggest a schedule that synchronizes with the Harvard course, all the content will be available just a few days into the project. Since you can truly set your own pace, "The Ancient Greek Hero" can fit into your busy schedule.

Regardless of your participation level in the first session, we invite you to register for "The Ancient Greek Hero" now! If you were not able to participate fully the first time around, please join us as we engage with these timeless and transformative texts. If you achieved a Certificate of Mastery, we encourage you to stay connected, rethink your readings, and delve deeper into texts that reward a lifetime of study. We promise, Hour 24 is just the beginning.

All the best,

Leonard Muellner
Chair of the Board of Readers, The Ancient Greek Hero

Claudia Filos

Editor for Curricular and Community Development, The Ancient Greek Hero

P.S. Certificate-seekers who earned an average of 50% or higher on the hourly assessments can download their PDF certificate from the student dashboard on http://edx.org.
