In the spring, MIT will launch a new online learning platform - MITx

Good news, everyone!

While our people welcome the decisions of the Party and the Government in the field of modernization and innovation, in the decaying West, bourgeois science, the mercenary girl of imperialism, is making intrigues. The criminal clique of MIT has conceived to divert Russian students from high-quality domestic education by the so-called open distance education ...

Seriously, MIT is following in the footsteps of Stanford and is about to launch a new MITx online learning platform. Key facts:

• launch of the first version this spring;
• training is free;
• If you have successfully completed training for money, you can get a certificate, but not from MIT, but from a non-profit organization being created inside the institute ( here it is - an animal grin of capitalism )
• the platform itself will be free and freely distributed;
• the set of courses is still unknown - as far as I understood from the text, one should not expect that it will be very large at once, but will gradually expand and change.

PS The announcement was a month ago, but it hasn’t yet been seen at habr.
