Not Quite an MIT Degree, but MITx May Still Appeal?

Not a full-fledged diploma — that’s still a possibility only for the 10,000 or so students admitted to its Cambridge, Mass., campus. But on Monday, MIT is announcing that for the first time it will offer credentials — under the name “MITx” — to students who complete the online version of certain courses, starting with a pilot program this spring.

Interesting that a model like the TED model is inspiring universities. Could it also spread to companies in e g the health care industry so that everybody could learn some medical and health knowledge based on recent research by following a series of inspiring and insightful lectures as well??
