In December, MIT announced a new online learning initiative called MITx. Free enrollment is now open for the MITx pilot course, 6.002x Circuits and Electronics. Please visit the MITx site to enroll. The course will officially begin on March 5.

MITx will build a virtual community of online learners and allow them to earn certificates for demonstrating mastery of MITx subjects at modest cost. MITx will also serve as a cornerstone of MIT's research into digitally supported teaching and learning. For this initiative, the Institute is developing new online materials to support MITx users.

Everything on MITx short of credentialing is free of charge, and the MITx learning platform is being built using open-source software that will be freely available to the world.

Additional updates regarding MITx will be available through the MIT OpenCourseWare newsletter.
Sincerely,
Cecilia d'Oliveira
Executive Director
MIT OpenCourseWare
