MIT OpenCourseWare is a playground for curiosity that has had a “compounding effect on my life outside of school,” says Jason, one of the 500 million people who have learned with MIT materials in the last 25 years. What are we setting our sights on next? ✅ Harnessing AI to make our resources more accessible. ✅ Continuing to share MIT’s knowledge, freely and openly. ✅ Evolving to meet the needs of learners everywhere. 👉 Find out how you can help: https://bit.ly/4nPtbFr #MIT #OpenCourseWare #HigherEd #OpenLearning #LifelongLearning Photo ©PP via Canva.com

How do you decide which global development challenges to take on as an engineer? This framework from MIT Department of Mechanical Engineering (MechE) Professor Amos Winter breaks it down into 3 key questions: 1️⃣ Real merit — Is the problem compelling enough to affect a lot of people? 2️⃣ Technical merit — Is this actually a technical problem, or is it better solved through policy, marketing, or economics? 3️⃣ Value — Who would fund this work, and more importantly, who's positioned to disseminate and adopt it? A classic mistake in global development is assuming you know what people need. The reality: people adopt what they want, not what they need.

In 2001, MIT made a bold decision to open its curriculum to the world. Through MIT OpenCourseWare — now part of MIT Open Learning — the Institute began sharing materials from nearly all of its courses online for free. A quarter of a century later, that decision has impacted the lives of more than 500 million people across the world. Read the MIT News Article to learn more: https://bit.ly/4eWOHWC

What happens when your machine learning model meets real patients? You'll learn the methodologies for building machine learning models for healthcare and—more importantly—develop a critical framework for understanding where healthcare data comes from and how bias emerges. Start learning: https://bit.ly/3P5f7uP. All course materials are free on MIT OpenCourseWare.

Do you need to get up to speed on artificial intelligence? MIT Open Learning now offers a self-paced program called Universal AI, that helps learners go from novice to AI fluency. The first course on the Fundamentals of Programming and Machine Learning is free. Learn more: 👇
AI education should be accessible to everyone, because it's going to be useful for everyone. That's the simple idea behind Universal AI: an online, self-paced program designed to help learners build practical AI skills, starting with the fundamentals and moving into real-world applications. ✔️ Designed by 30+ MIT faculty and experts ✔️ Built around case studies and hands-on exercises ✔️ No coding required ✔️ First course is free ✔️ Includes the AskTIM AI assistant for help along the way MIT has long led in both advancing this field and sharing knowledge openly. Universal AI brings those traditions together — and meets the moment. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4u9F8by

Please check out this wonderful documentary about MIT OpenCourseWare, as we celebrate our 25th anniversary!
1999 was the dawn of the internet, and many universities saw it as an opportunity to profit from knowledge. Instead, MIT asked, "how about we make something big and give it away?" With the spark of that idea, MIT OpenCourseWare was born. Learn more about the origin, vision, and impact of MIT OpenCourseWare in the latest MIT Stories documentary, "The Courage to be Open."

We are so excited to share that our very own Brett Paci from OCW/MIT Open Learning, was a guest on the Continuing Studies Podcast, talking about OCW, our history, and our podcast, Chalk Radio. Check it out: 👇
Publishing a lecture isn’t the same as making it engaging. MIT Open Learning learned that early. From course materials to YouTube to clips to long-form podcasts with video, Brett Paci from MIT OpenCourseWare breaks down how their approach has evolved. The key idea: Follow the audience, not the format In this episode: ✔ How MIT experiments across formats ✔ Why they built an audience before launching a podcast ✔ What they’ve learned moving between audio, video, and short-form And breaking new here: Brett will be sharing his podcasting experience as a speaker at HigherEd PodCon in Cleveland this July! https://lnkd.in/gTkbYwmb Jennifer-Lee Gunson
