On December 19, 2011, MIT announced the launch of an online learning
initiative internally called “MITx.” MITx will offer a portfolio of MIT
courses through an online interactive learning platform that will:

organize and present course material to enable students to learn at
their own pace
feature interactivity, online laboratories and student-to-student
communication
allow for the individual assessment of any student’s work and allow
students who demonstrate their mastery of subjects to earn a certificate
of completion awarded by MITx
operate on an open-source, scalable software infrastructure in order to
make it continuously improving and readily available to other
educational institutions.
MIT expects that this learning platform will enhance the educational
experience of its on-campus students, offering them online tools that
supplement and enrich their classroom and laboratory experiences. MIT
also expects that MITx will eventually host a virtual community of
millions of learners around the world.
