(2016-01-31) MIT Ortiz Start Project Based University

MIT Prof. ChristineOrtiz recently announced her plan to create a radical new research university. “I’m looking at a new (College Education) model, where the whole sort of vocabulary is different,” she said. “I don’t see it having any face to face, on-the-ground lectures, actually.”... The university, still unnamed, will still have physical infrastructure, but will prioritize on “ProjectBasedLearning” where students learn by working together on a challenge for an extended period of time.
