The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has revealed it is to launch the world’s first ever fully automated online learning courses. It will be free for students to sign up to and will focus on electronics, with the classes set to begin in March, reports BBC News. Anant Agarwal, director of MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, will be one of the teachers in charge of the online learning and stated the aim is to continue to make the course material engaging for those who sign up to take part in the scheme. “There are interactive exercises to see if they’ve understood,” he said, pointing out students will need a working knowledge of science and maths to succeed in the e-learning module, although there are no formal requirements for those wishing to participate.
