You may be familiar with massive open online courses (MOOCs) delivered by professors from prestigious universities. But a new open course provider has a slightly different approach - its lecturers are all students.
名校教授大型網(wǎng)絡(luò)公開課（又被稱為“慕課”）你可能已經(jīng)很熟悉了。而一種新型公開課則另辟蹊徑：全部講師都是學(xué)生。
Its name is One-man University. The online college in China offers a wide range of interesting teaching programs that convey knowledge in an accessible way. It’s worthwhile taking time in this winter vacation to experience it.
這就是“萬門大學(xué)”。這所中國的網(wǎng)絡(luò)大學(xué)提供許多不同的趣味教學(xué)課程，降低了傳授知識(shí)的門檻。寒假里，還是很值得去花時(shí)間體驗(yàn)一下的。

Students teaching students may sound absurd, but this mechanism has been welcomed by One-man University’s tens of thousands of followers.
盡管學(xué)生教學(xué)生可能聽起來有些不可思議，但是這種教學(xué)方法已經(jīng)受到萬門大學(xué)數(shù)萬學(xué)員的歡迎。
They believe that the core competitiveness of One-man University comes from allowing student lecturers to inspire other students to learn. Besides, student lecturers teach and explain knowledge in a way that may be more understandable than professors in universities.
他們認(rèn)為萬門大學(xué)的核心競爭力在于讓學(xué)生講師激勵(lì)其他學(xué)生去學(xué)習(xí)。此外，同大學(xué)教授相比，學(xué)生授課和講解知識(shí)的方式更清晰易懂。
“One-man University encourages participants to learn things through their own efforts. On the way, they’ll find they have infinite possibilities,” says Tong Zhe, 26, the founder of One-man University.
萬門大學(xué)創(chuàng)始人、26歲的童哲說：“萬門大學(xué)鼓勵(lì)學(xué)員們通過自學(xué)來獲取知識(shí)。在學(xué)習(xí)過程中，他們會(huì)發(fā)掘出無限的潛能。”

The online college is an open platform for both lecturers and receivers.
對(duì)于授課者和學(xué)習(xí)者來說，萬門大學(xué)是一個(gè)開放式平臺(tái)。
If students are interested in a course, they can either take offline classes or watch online course videos for free. But the former requires registration.
如果學(xué)員對(duì)某一課程感興趣，他們可以參加線下課程或者觀看在線課程的免費(fèi)視頻，而線下課程則需要注冊。
According to Tong, the knowledge content of a course provided by One-man University is equal to that of a university course in one semester.
童哲表示，萬門大學(xué)的課程知識(shí)內(nèi)容同大學(xué)是一樣的。
Fu Zhengcheng, 22, a physics major at Zhejiang Normal University, is one of the student followers of Tong’s online college. He thinks the beauty of the platform is the well-structured courses that allow knowledge to be logically explained.
浙江師范大學(xué)物理系學(xué)生、22歲的付正成（音譯）便是萬門大學(xué)的支持者之一。他認(rèn)為這一平臺(tái)的魅力在于合理的課程結(jié)構(gòu)以及對(duì)于知識(shí)的邏輯性說明。
“Each course takes 16 hours to complete,” says Tong. “It is divided into several sessions, with each session taking about 20 minutes to cover one knowledge point.”
童哲說：“每門課程需要16學(xué)時(shí)。課程學(xué)習(xí)分成幾個(gè)部分，每個(gè)部分會(huì)要用20分鐘來教授一個(gè)知識(shí)點(diǎn)。”
Though students’ positive feedback shows that One-man University’s courses are a success, Tong believes the main value of One-man University lies in the message it conveys.
盡管學(xué)生的正面反饋?zhàn)C明了萬門大學(xué)課程的成功，但童哲認(rèn)為該校的主要價(jià)值在于傳遞信息。
“It makes students believe that self-study is not difficult and they can learn a subject that’s different from their college major,” says Tong. “After that, they can search for more quality online resources, such as on Coursera, edX and Khan Academy (various platforms that offer MOOCs to students worldwide).”
童哲說：“萬門大學(xué)讓學(xué)生覺得自學(xué)并不難，他們可以學(xué)到不同于大學(xué)本專業(yè)的學(xué)科。完成課程學(xué)習(xí)后，學(xué)生還可以搜索更多網(wǎng)絡(luò)精品資源，比如Coursera, edX和可汗學(xué)院等全球性“慕課”資源平臺(tái)。
Open stage
心有多大，舞臺(tái)就有多大
As for students who want to share knowledge with others, One-man University offers them a stage.
對(duì)于那些想要與他人分享知識(shí)的學(xué)生而言，萬門大學(xué)也為他們提供了舞臺(tái)。
“We select lecturers based on the following two criteria: First, they should be academically qualified. Second, they need to deliver understandable lectures,” says Tong. To be more specific, if someone wants to teach mathematics at One-man University, their audition lectures must be approved by a student panel consisting both of mathematics majors and non-mathematics majors invited by Tong.
童哲表示：“我們依據(jù)以下兩個(gè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)選擇授課者：首先，學(xué)術(shù)資質(zhì)；其次，他們的授課方式要清晰易懂。”具體來說，如果有人想在萬門大學(xué)教數(shù)學(xué)課，那么試講課程必須得到童哲邀請的由數(shù)學(xué)系與非數(shù)學(xué)系學(xué)生觀摩小組的認(rèn)可。
Easy as it seems, only few meet these requirements. According to Tong, One-man University only has a few dozen lecturers, all of whom have graduated from foreign postgraduate programs. However, he maintains a positive attitude.
這看似容易，實(shí)則能夠達(dá)標(biāo)的人可謂是鳳毛麟角。童哲表示萬門大學(xué)只有幾十名講師，全部是畢業(yè)于國外大學(xué)的碩士生。但他仍然很樂觀。
“As long as we stick to our standards, we will attract more students and qualified lecturers. There’s a long way to go for One-man University,” he says.
他說：“只要我們堅(jiān)守準(zhǔn)則，一定可以吸引更多學(xué)生和優(yōu)秀講師加入我們。萬門大學(xué)還有很長的路要走。”
