“Today, research universities face a new kind of disruption unlocked by a force they themselves have pioneered: technology.”
We are exploring new avenues in the science of learning—and reaching for a greater understanding of how people acquire knowledge at all levels, from pK–12 to lifelong learners. In our classrooms, residences, and makerspaces, we are reinvigorating our traditional practices of making and doing, while accelerating pedagogical innovation through digital tools and experiential education. With programs and facilities that support our students in all aspects of their lives, we are enriching and expanding our campus living and learning experience. And through digital learning efforts like MITx and OpenCourseWare, we are continuing to provide quality educational opportunities to all those with the drive and talent to seize them.
