Open Learning

MIT Open Learning is on a mission to transform teaching and learning at MIT and around the globe through the innovative use of digital technologies. Open Learning carries MIT’s teaching beyond campus into the hands of learners across the world through MIT Learn, a hub for the Institute’s growing collection of non-degree learning experiences

Open Learning is centered around four interconnected strategic areas:

• Open Education builds on MIT’s legacy of sharing educational resources online by continuing to extend MIT knowledge around the globe through free and open courses, programs, and resources.
• Workforce Learning leverages the latest educational research and science to develop custom learning solutions that help large organizations train their workforce and meet today’s corporate learning challenges.
• The Residential Education team equips MIT faculty, instructors, and staff with tools and expertise to enhance on-campus teaching through digital technologies such as the Canvas ecosystem, lecture capture, lightboard, and Residential MITx.
• Universal Learning’s collection of online, self-paced curricula is centered on cross-disciplinary topic areas. Its Universal AI offering consists of modules that teach the underlying theories, concepts, and technologies of artificial intelligence.
