Learn more from OCW at https://ocw.mit.edu Hi there! As OCW celebrates its 18th birthday, I’m pleased to share with you an update on this thriving teenager, a teenager that is astounding for its reach and impact. I’m also look ahead to what’s next in OCW’s future. We now have more than 2,450 courses on the OCW site. More than 300 million learners from all around the world have visited OCW and used our resources, spending countless hours learning from the same course materials by which MIT students learn from MIT faculty on our campus. For MIT’s educators like me, who may only be able to teach a few thousand students in our careers, having their courses on OCW used by many thousands of learners every year is a wonderful and humbling experience. And, there are myriad educators around the world out there, using our course materials, taking insights from educators here and then adding perspective and experience of their own, and using OCW in this way to help support and shape the education of THEIR students. These educators out there around the world are OCW’s multipliers. Our goal is to make our content available wherever people are trying to learn. So you’ll find all of our videos on YouTube. We are delighted to be the number one dot edu YouTube channel, and are closing in on 2 million subscribe
