25 years ago, @MIT opened its curriculum to the world. 🌍
Today, @MITOCW has reached 500M+ learners, inspired a global open education movement, and made 2,500+ courses freely available online.
Now, with the launch of MIT Learn — the Institute's hub for lifelong learning — and Open Learning's goal of reaching 1 billion learners in the next decade, the next chapter of open education is already taking shape.

3 things engineers at @mit consider before tackling a global development problem:
1️⃣ Real merit — will it affect a lot of people?
2️⃣ Technical merit — is this actually an engineering problem?
3️⃣ Value — who will fund, disseminate, and adopt it?

In 2001, MIT made a bold decision to open its curriculum to the world. Through MIT OpenCourseWare — now part of @mitopenlearning — 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.

Universal Learning is a new initiative designed to prepare learners everywhere to tackle complex global challenges through boundary-crossing thinking.
@MIT Open Learning Vice Provost Dimitris Bertsimas and Senior Director Megan Mitchell discuss the motivation behind this initiative and what sets it apart: https://t.co/yN5OFmZ5sF
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://t.co/1eBMJbS4TT. All course materials are free on MIT OpenCourseWare.
Do you need to get up to speed on artificial intelligence?
@mitopenlearning 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: 👇

In 1999, many universities saw the internet as a way to profit from knowledge.
Instead, MIT asked, "how about we make something big and give it away?" With the spark of that idea, @MITOCW was born.

On May 4th, our beloved Prof. Gil Strang was in a clue in Jeopardy. The category was "'L.A' Science & Tech". Put your guesses in the comments! Remember to phrase it in the form of a question!
For nearly a decade, Elizabeth Siler, a professor at Worcester State University, has been teaching almost exclusively with @MITOCW's educational resources.
In our latest @MIT Stories documentary, “The Courage to Be Open: MIT OpenCourseWare and the Democratization of Knowledge,” Siler reflects on the impact of open knowledge in her classroom and across the many students she’s taught.
