@OpenEdGlobal is launching a new series "Come Invent With Us: Perspectives on OEGlobal2026" in anticipation of the OEGlobal Conference in 2026. First in the series is OpenCourseWare director, Curt Newton, who talks about ecological wisdom, collective imagination, and co-creation.

Artificial intelligence is clearly here to stay. Now @mitopenlearning will bring high quality AI-education with its new online program "Universal AI". Check it out below.👇

Drones. Artificial intelligence. Cyber warfare. How do states develop these technologies, identify barriers to innovation, and consider how these new technologies affect war and peace? Find out the answers in the course "Emerging Technology and International Security" taught by @MIT_SHASS professor and Air Force squadron commander @eriklg. bit.ly/4wr2ZUV Always free. Always available.

What if the best decision isn’t about what you do — but about what everyone else is likely to do next? That’s the basic idea behind MIT OpenCourseWare’s new course, Economic Applications of Game Theory. This course explores how this idea shows up in economics, strategy, markets, and everyday decision-making. If you like big ideas that help explain real-world behavior, this is a fun one to check out: bit.ly/4v7WpS6 (Image by Csaba Fekete on Flickr. CC BY-NC-SA).

Adrian Pastor needed to build a reliable EMG device for elderly patients in Lima, Peru. Most online resources couldn't help—until he found @MITOCW. Free MIT lectures gave him the skills to go from unstable readings to a working tool used in an eldercare home. Read more: bit.ly/4wbn29v

@r_mohan Thanks for calling that to our attention. Because this course is quite old and is actually not on OCW, we aren't able to provide additional materials. You can check out all the OCW courses at ocw.mit.edu

@MITOCW web.mit.edu/afs/athena.mit… is an older course that isn't open yet. The lectures and code will be of immense help.

From flowing rivers to shifting sand, nature is always on the move. This lecture series by @eapsMIT breaks down the fascinating science behind how water and wind shape our environment — and why it matters. Click the link to learn more! bit.ly/4aFAlXN Always free.

When Lauren ran out of math classes in high school, Prof. Gil Strang’s linear algebra lectures on @MITOCW filled the gap — for free. 25 years in, MIT OpenCourseWare is still fueling the next generation of learners. Help us keep MIT’s knowledge free and open for the next 25: bit.ly/4nPtbFr 💡 Photo: Sandi Miller

Okay, this is so cool! Learn about how researchers, who are doing a "winterover" in Antarctica, are using OCW to keep themselves entertained and engaged during the long isolation. news.mit.edu/2026/mit-open-…

How do you represent a molecule in a way that computers can understand? @MIT researcher Sophia Yao breaks down SMILES—a text-based chemical notation that enables machine learning models to analyze molecular data faster and more cost-effectively. Keep learning: bit.ly/49s8Xfb

Did you know that MIT students can learn how to blow glass? Yes, really! 🔥 You may not know, but MIT has a vibrant arts and crafts scene. Curious how craftsmanship and science intersect? A recent course titled "Art, Craft, Science" was just published on OpenCourseWare. Discover how people learn, practice, and evaluate traditional and contemporary craft techniques. bit.ly/4vHiaZu (Image of the MIT Glass Lab by Christopher Harting/MIT). @MIT_SHASS

@priteshkgupta Very nicely written! We are glad you found How to Speak!

there are nearly 8k videos on MIT OCW’s youtube channel. thermodynamics. economics. algorithms. the structure of the universe and what not.. courses so deep that most people might never finish. and yet one of the most watched videos is about -- how to speak. the thing humans have been doing for hundreds of thousands of years. the very first skill. the oldest tool. something we began learning long before we had words itself. how poetic is that. for all the complexity we've built, humans still remain deeply interested in the very old problem -- how do we bridge the silent gap between two minds. to speak, so we are truly heard. and to listen, so we truly understand. @mitocw
