Distance Learning

MIT delivers distance education primarily through point-to-point video conferencing services that may include integration of lecture slides and annotations. Supported and executed by Academic Media Production Services (AMPS), this fee-based service uses of specially-equipped classrooms designed to accommodate the audio and video requirements of video conferencing. In addition, distance education lectures are often videotaped and posted digitally for later viewing.

Distance Education initiatives on the MIT campus include:

• Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI)
• Singapore MIT Alliance (SMA)
