The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) recently released a preliminary report on the future of the institution, naming edX a key component of its strategy. According to the article, half of MIT’s undergraduates use edX content in their residential courses. Anant Agarwal, president of edX, predicts that as instructors break their courses into modules, MIT will move away from the traditional four-year on-campus experience and that an education from MIT may soon involve a freshman year spent completing online courses, two years on campus and a fourth “year” of continuous education.
