Well not really. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has launched a whole new way of learning that could change education forever. First off, let’s get one thing straight – MIT is one of the most exclusive universities in the country. They only enroll about 12% of applicants, most of those being certified geniuses. Recently they launched the MIT Open CourseWare (OCW) program that allows all of their courses, materials and even lecture videos online for free. This all came about when the higher ups sat to talk about the changing face of technology and its impact on education. When the OCW was first suggested, the plan was to make the courses and materials available for an affordable price, but it was then realized that this can hurt the exclusiveness of the school. Well, that’s where the genius comes in. They decided to put the OCW online for free, but the catch is that you will receive no credit for the courses that you take. That means that everyone can get a MIT education without hurting the exclusiveness of the school. Click the link below and see for yourself!
