Wonderful World News - Day 136 - MITx MOOCs

     Here's today's wonderful news 

about a wonderful world!

 This is part of a series of daily reminders that a more wonderful world is being built from the actions of millions of people, each day. You are offered examples to explore whenever you would like to be uplifted and inspired, energized and reassured. This is a wonderful type of world news!

 It seems obvious that we experience what we are paying attention to, so if we want more life-enhancing experiences, we should direct more of our attention to more life-enhancing news, happenings, and stories.

Also, when we feel life-enhanced, we are radiating, broadcasting those "vibes" outward, and others are uplifted into resonance, to some degree. And the more of us radiating, the more others are uplifted. So joy is service!

In this series, we emphasize discovering whole groups of people who are creating a more wonderful world, each in their own way.

 You can add things you find, for others to discover and pay attention to, via commenting on this post, or any post in the series.

"Nine years ago MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) announced the launch of MITx. 

"When we began with our first Massive Open Online Course, we could never have imagined how important online education would be to the world nine years later, or what MITx courses would come to mean to learners around the world. 

"Learners like Jawadali, a university student in India who shared her story with us: “The certificates from MIT have changed my life. The first thing is the feeling of being recognized by one of the most reputed organizations is very prestigious. New learning builds new perspective-thinking in a great way...This level of education is building new skills, experience, and knowledge, and applying that in the real world is an amazing feeling.”

"We believe in every learner's potential, and every year we strive to improve our offerings, through new videos, new courses, and new tools to better support you in achieving your learning goals."

 

"And this year we’ve seen the impact of that work like never before, with over 800,000 enrollments in MITx courses in the first half of 2020 alone, and more learners discovering MITx than at any point in our history. At the same time, we have more courses and more ways to learn with MITx available through the edX platform, our five MITx MicroMasters programs, the MIT Open Learning Library, the MITx YouTube channel, and more."

 

In the 9 years, over 10 MILLION enrollments and last Fall, 45 courses launched. Some of the funding comes from crowdfunding.

 

Now it's your turn. Inspired by what you've discovered, what is one thing you will do this day to make the world more wonderful for yourself and perhaps also for someone else?
