The Massachusetts Institute of Technology will next year launch the first of what could be several pilots to determine if pieces of what it has provided face-to-face can be delivered through massive open online courses.<\/p>\n

The institute on Wednesday announced an alternative path for students to enroll in its supply chain management program and earn a master\u2019s of engineering in logistics degree. Instead of students being required to move to Cambridge, Mass., for the duration of the 10-month program, MIT will offer half of the program through MOOCs, saving students tens of thousands of dollars in tuition.<\/p>\n

Learners who complete the MOOCs but can\u2019t afford or simply aren\u2019t interested in finishing the degree won\u2019t walk away empty-handed. MIT will offer those learners a new microcredential, called a MicroMaster\u2019s, and is working with other organizations that offer supply chain management programs to ensure they will accept the credential toward degree completion.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
