<p id="yui_3_13_0_1_1383312283683_3221"> Along with the State Department, Coursera’s partners for the learning hubs include the University of Trinidad and Tobago, Overcoming Faith Academy Kenya, Digital October, Bluebells School International and Lady Sriram College, Learning Links Foundation and Tapthetech.org.</p>

<div id="yui_3_13_0_1_1383312283683_2839"><p id="yui_3_13_0_1_1383312283683_2848">The learning hubs represent a new stage in the evolution of “massive open online courses,” or MOOCs, and address two issues: the lack of reliable Internet access in some countries, and the growing conviction that students do better if they can discuss course materials, and meet at least occasionally with a teacher or facilitator.</p>
<p id="yui_3_13_0_1_1383312283683_2847">“Our mission is education for everyone, and we’ve seen that when we can bring a community of learners together with a facilitator or teacher who can engage the students, it enhances the learning experience and increases the completion rate,” said Lila Ibrahim, the president of <a href="https://www.coursera.org/"><font color="#000080">Coursera</font></a>. “It will vary with the location and the organization we’re working with, but we want to bring in some teacher or facilitator who can be the glue for the class.”</p>
<p id="yui_3_13_0_1_1383312283683_2846">Early this year, using courses from Coursera and other online providers, the State Department ran a pilot program to open space where people could take free online courses in priority fields, including science and technology subjects, Americana and entrepreneurship.</p>
<p id="yui_3_13_0_1_1383312283683_2845">“Some of them took it above and beyond, and decided to host facilitated discussions with the courses,” said Meghann Curtis, the State Department’s deputy assistant secretary for academic programs. “Over the summer, when we looked at the success stories, we identified facilitated discussions as something that seemed to work.”</p>
<p id="yui_3_13_0_1_1383312283683_2842">Coursera is joining forces with the State Department’s MOOC Camp Initiative, now operating in 40 countries — about half using Coursera courses, and the other half courses from such providers as <a id="yui_3_13_0_1_1383312283683_6388" href="https://www.edx.org/" name="yui_3_13_0_1_1383312283683_6388"><font id="yui_3_13_0_1_1383312283683_6387" color="#000080">edX</font></a> and <a id="yui_3_13_0_1_1383312283683_2844" href="http://oyc.yale.edu/" name="yui_3_13_0_1_1383312283683_2844"><font id="yui_3_13_0_1_1383312283683_2843" color="#000080">Open Yale</font></a>, whose courses are also available free on the Internet. But beyond having its courses used, Coursera is taking an active role in the project.</p>

<p id="yui_3_7_2_1_1379971719503_2100" style="font-size: 0.9em; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 0px; display: block; line-height: normal; padding: 0px;"> In July 2013 alone, we received 3 million visits from 2 million individuals, a near-doubling of traffic from the previous year. We're thrilled to see MITx and other MOOC providers creating new learning opportunities using emerging digital technologies, and we see these courses as an important complement to OCW.<br/><br/>OCW, though, continues to bring unique value to educators and learners worldwide, and we remain deeply committed to our mission of sharing educational content taken directly from MIT classrooms. With more than 2,180 courses now represented on the site, OCW provides a broad view into the MIT curriculum across all programs at both the undergraduate and graduate level. OCW materials are persistently available and openly licensed, making them ideal as references and sources of content from which other educational opportunities can be developed.<br/><br/>We continue to innovate on the OCW model as well. This year, we will publish three more of our unique OCW Scholar courses, OCW materials that have been structured specifically to support informal independent learning.<a style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: none; text-decoration: underline; outline-color: invert;" href="http://mit.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8e59dcfcecf8036039ece3f6f&id=5bc6921995&e=2f09dc33d5" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">2.003x Engineering Dynamics</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>is the latest example of this format to be published on our site.

Later this fall, look for more elements of our newest effort OCW Educator, to appear on the site. This project aims to layer additional pedagogical information on top of the course content we share, helping other educators understand not just what we teach, but how we teach.<br/><br/>Within MIT, OCW is playing a vital role in the developing digital learning infrastructure. Our experience with the publication of educational materials at scale, management of intellectual property and other key aspects on digital learning efforts helps the Institute's publication of the new MITx massive open online courses, and our staff is working on a daily basis to assist the new MITx team in developing the courses available on the edX platform. And OCW remains one of the most widely used digital resources on campus, accessed regularly by 92% of students and 84% of faculty.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br/><br/>We believe we are entering a golden age of online learning opportunities, and that OCW has a vital role to play in that bright future, but we continue to face the challenge of sustaining the program.<br/><br/>Take a look at innovations like<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: none; text-decoration: underline; outline-color: invert;" href="http://mit.us7.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=8e59dcfcecf8036039ece3f6f&id=fa01750fbf&e=2f09dc33d5" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">OCW Scholar</a>, OCW Educator, and the new redesigned and improved<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: none; text-decoration: underline; outline-color: invert;" href="http://mit.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8e59dcfcecf8036039ece3f6f&id=716e0ec624&e=2f09dc33d5" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">OCW Highlights for High School</a>.</p>
