MITx Advances MIT’s Vision for Online Learning

- -

Education has entered an era of rapid, exciting, -technology-enabled change. At MIT, we welcome the opportunity to -harness the power of on-line technology for our students and for the -world. On December 19, 2011, we announced MITx, an initiative to -offer exciting, challenging and enriching courses to anyone, -anywhere, who has the motivation and ability to engage MIT’s -educational content.

- -

Ten years ago, MIT -launched OpenCourseWare, -which places online the course materials for substantially the entire -MIT curriculum, and was the genesis of today’s worldwide -movement in free, open educational resources. MITx is the next step -in opening MIT’s educational doors to the world. Through OCW and -MITx, MIT invites the world to join it in the passion, hard work and -thrill of learning and discovery.

- -

MITx will e-publish interactive online courses that:

- - - -

MITx students who demonstrate their mastery of a subject can earn -a certificate of completion awarded by MITx.

- -

MITx courses will be available to the world through an Internet -platform that MIT will make freely available. MIT hopes that other -educational institutions, anywhere in the world, will adapt and use -the platform to publish their own educational content online for the -benefit of learners. Because the platform will be open-source and -scalable, adopters and users can continuously improve it, for the -benefit of everyone.

- -

Why Is MIT Creating MITx?

- -

Excellence in teaching and learning. MIT must always provide its -students the very best teaching and learning tools possible. MIT -began experimenting with online technologies in its educational -programs long before we launched OCW in 2001. We have only increased -our emphasis in recent years, as several MIT committees have studied -how MIT might enhance the learning experience of its students and -expand its impact worldwide through new online offerings.

- -

These efforts, combined with those of numerous individual MIT -faculty members, confirmed MIT’s conviction that digital -technologies enrich learning. Many other innovative institutions and -enterprises believe the same and are bringing creative online -offerings forward. Having brain-stormed, investigated and studied, -we were ready to act and eager to start. We announced our MITx -aspiration to capture and encourage the energy of our faculty in -creating new online teaching and learning tools.

- -

Once up and running, MITx will be a laboratory for online -learning. Whether MITx learners are MIT’s on-campus students, -university students elsewhere, or independent learners, MITx will help -us understand how online learning occurs and how virtual communities -of learners assemble -- information that in turn will allow us to -improve both MITx and our on-campus teaching.

- -

Access to higher education. MITx will help shatter barriers to -education. The constraints of MIT’s physical campus allow us to -admit less than 10 percent of our undergraduate applicants. We teach -on-campus only a tiny fraction of the people in the world with the -ability and motivation to learn MIT content. Online technology -provides a new and different portal into MIT-quality education. -Through MITx, MIT educational content can reach, augment, and enrich -the education and livelihood of many learners who cannot attend -MIT.

- -

MITx does not provide a full MIT education. Our residential -campus is the heart of MIT’s knowledge creation and -dissemination. MIT students enjoy a comprehensive curriculum and -distinct educational environment. Without MIT, there would be no -MITx.

- -

Advancing the public good. MITx is an opportunity to help -preserve and expand higher education as a public good. Historically, -the investment of public and private assets in enormous amounts has -produced the public benefits of knowledge creation and dissemination, -leading to capable citizens, innovation, job creation, economic -development, and broader welfare.

- -

Today, as computation and Internet technologies enable higher -education to migrate online, MIT sees the opportunity to democratize -education with unprecedented efficiency and scalability. We possess a -strong desire and feel a compelling obligation to offer a -not-for-profit, mission-driven, open-technology approach to online -learning. MITx is our contribution.

The first MITx course, 6.002x (Circuits and Electronics), was launched in an experimental prototype form. Watch this space for further upcoming courses, which will become available in Fall 2012.

MITx courses will be offered on an online learning platform that:

- -
    -
  • organizes and presents course material to enable students to learn worldwide
    • -
  • features interactive instruction, online laboratories and student-to-student and student-to-professor communication
    • -
  • allows for the individual assessment of any student’s work and allows students who demonstrate their mastery of subjects to earn certificates awarded by MITx
    • -
  • operates on an open-source, scalable software infrastructure in order to make it continuously improving and readily available to other educational institutions, such as universities and K-12 school systems.
