(88b) From MOOCs to Residential Instruction ? Departmental Perspective on Digital Learning @ MIT ChE

The Department of Chemical Engineering at MIT has seen a rapid growth in digital learning activities over the past few years. In this talk, we will showcase completed and ongoing digital learning projects and discuss the department’s strategic vision. We will present three Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) on edX: “10.50.1x Analysis of Transport Phenomena I: Mathematical Methods”, “10.50.2x Analysis of Transport Phenomena II: Applications”, and “10.S95x Physics of COVID-19 Transmission”; one Small Private Online Course (SPOC): “10.MBCx Math Boot Camp for Engineers”; and other residential projects using digital tools guided by research-based teaching practices. We will share the lessons learned from producing digital educational contents, including videos, graphics, and assessments. Finally, we will explain our departmental strategy for continuing our digital learning work both residentially and globally.
