M.I.T.x Launches Offering Free Online Education

I think the future lies in self-education. The ability of an individual to self-educate is what I think will differentiate the successful from the non-successful in the coming years. Knowledge and skill sets grow and change so quickly these days that it’s only through self-education that someone will be able to keep up with the times, both from a professional and personal development standpoint.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.) has announced that they intend to launch an online learning initiative called M.I.T.x. The courses will be available free of charge to anyone with an online connection.

This is a really big deal. M.I.T. is doing a wonderful thing by launching this initiative and they are to be commended for their efforts.
