Enroll in MIT’s First Free Certificate Course Today

in Education, MIT | February 14th, 2012 31 Comments

Note: You can now find through the following link a complete list of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), many offering certificates.

In the waning days of 2011, MIT announced MITx, a new e-learning initiative that will offer certificates (find a list of Free Online Certificate Courses here) to students demonstrating mastery of free MIT courses. The university set a spring launch date for MITx, and they have now opened for enrollment the very first course. Taught by Anant Agarwal, Circuits and Electronics is an online adaption of MIT’s first undergraduate analog design course. According the MITx web site, this prototype course will run — free of charge — for students worldwide from March 5, 2012 through June 8, 2012. And students will have the opportunity to demonstrate their mastery of the material and earn a certificate from MITx. You can get more information on the course, or simply enroll in Circuits and Electronics, today. Just click here.

Many other engineering and computer science courses can be found in our collection of 400 Free Courses Online.

UPDATE:  MIT professor David Pritchard and his education research group, RELATE are offering an online MIT-level course in Introductory Newtonian Mechanics. The course is free and does not require a textbook.  Enrollment has just opened (it starts with an optional prerequisites test), and the course runs from March 1 – May 14, 2012.  Individuals who complete the course will receive a letter of completion. This MIT course is unrelated to the MITx project mentioned right above.

    Dear Sir,

    I would be interested to enrol on the Circuits and Electronics course currently advertized. I am currently employed as a switch technician and feel the topics discussed in the course would be of great benefit to me.

    Kind regards

    Most experience I have is in circuits is working in production line of building laptops and computer curcuitry @ Acer Corporation mid 90′s , for 5 years , I love it with a passion but they relocated to another country. I decided to go back to school and study computer science. I finish my Associates Degree and could not afford to go back to get my bachelors degree. This course would help me greatly to pursue higher education.
