MITx

MIT has announced its MITx initiative, the first truly free college education program. MITx, scheduled launch in prototype phase in spring 2012, will provide free MIT level courses to anyone in the world, regardless of academic background. A successful completion of the program awards an MITx certificate. The progress and successful of the program will be a study for resident MIT students, with the eventual hopes of providing the framework to other universities.
