The MITx Subcommittee of the Faculty Policy Committee is “preparing to recommend a face-time degree requirement, strong oversight of on-campus MITx experiments, and a ‘conservative initial approach’ to awarding credit for edX classes.” While encouraging professors to use MITx, the subcommittee has expressed a concern that some would use MITx as a substitute for physical co-presence. The subcommittee recommended a limit to the number of classes with insufficient face-time that may count toward a degree and that “all experimental proposals involving MITx-related curricular changes be first channeled through departments, then schools, and ultimately, Institute faculty committees for evaluation, feedback, and approval.”
