«Reimagining learning on campus and for the world»

Abstract

As part of the MIT Office of Digital Learning, MITx is charged with supporting MIT’s exploration of teaching approaches enabled by digital technologies, both within the MIT campus and through scalable online courses on the edX platform. The presentation will examine the structure, processes, early results, and reflections after the first year of course development at MITx. Specifically, it will examine:

• The relationship between MITx and edX
• Group structures and roles
• Reflections on the Course Development Process
• The first results obtained by MITx about the courses in edX
• Implications for campus education and experiential-based learning
• What comes next?
