Led by Vice President for Open Learning Sanjay Sarma, the MIT Integrated Learning Initiative (MITili) draws together faculty from across the Institute to look at learning at different stages and scales, from neurons and brains, to physical classrooms and learning spaces, to massive open online courses (MOOCs) and global education.<

Anindya uses data-science tools (including machine learning algorithms) and learning sciences to improve teaching, learning, and course design.

Education researchers and leaders hack transformative ideas at J-WEL Week     In a small conference room, three women sit down to tackle a global problem: the growing gap between the skills that employers say they need and the skills that job candidates actually possess. 

Each year hundreds of local junior high and high school students visit the campus in Cambridge to take part in MIT’s Spark and Splash programs.

In the classroom, feedback is a vital part of learning.

Recipients of MITili’s learning effectiveness research grants convened at a recent luncheon with MITili Director John Gabrieli, Deputy Director Parag Pathak, and members of MIT Open Learning to share the latest on their work.
