MIT’s Office of Educational Innovation and Technology is ready to support faculty who wish to experiment with online offerings of their courses on-campus. OEIT will also provide advice to faculty members on how to create subject content and assemble it for online delivery. Faculty members are encouraged to contact OEIT at oeit-ask@mit.edu for additional information.
In 2011-2012 MITCET worked with faculty from Aero/Astro, Chemistry and Mechanical Engineering to conduct a set of online educational experiments that focused on modularity and the idea of providing experiences for students that are more modular and flexible both in time (not always organized into one—semester chunks) and geography (not always on campus), as the key areas to address through these experiments.
