Beginning in 1999, MIT undertook a period of substantial educational innovation underwritten by two sources of funding: MIT iCampus, sponsored by Microsoft Research, and the d’Arbeloff Fund for Excellence in Education, made possible by the generosity of Alex and Brit d’Arbeloff.

MIT iCampus “is aimed at achieving broad, substantial, and sustainable impact on higher education through information technology” (iCampus website).  Projects sponsored by the d’Arbeloff Fund “are designed to enhance and potentially transform the academic and residential experience of MIT’s undergraduate students” (d’Arbeloff website).
