The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is preparing to disrupt the prevailing global model of higher education with a massive expansion of its online courses which it would sell to other universities through licence agreements. A new internal report has also urged MIT to “engage in bold experiments” with its undergraduate program to ensure the university continues to be a world leader “at a time of disruptive change”. The report, titled Institute-wide Task Force on the Future of MIT Education , said MIT academic staff had identified 300 courses that would be suitable for transforming into online learning.
