Open university: Joi Ito plans a radical reinvention of MIT's Media Lab (Wired UK)

Open university: Joi Ito plans a radical reinvention of MIT's Media Lab (Wired UK) | Create, Innovate & Evaluate in Higher Education | Scoop.it

By David Rowan

Joi Ito plans a radical reinvention of MIT’s Media Lab –-

Joi Ito, 46-year-old director of MIT's Media Lab since last September, has just selected the faculty's newest outpost: the troubled streets of downtown Detroit. "I was in a rough neighbourhood there yesterday, where there are miles and miles of bombed out buildings, and it just blows your mind to see a bunch of kids building urban farms," he says back in his office in Cambridge, Massachusetts. "They have no streetlights. If you connect a streetlight to the grid, it gets controlled by the city and regulated. So they're thinking, how can we create solar-powered low-cost streetlights, as that will lower crime? They have a maker space in a church, a place where the kids can learn how to build a computer, a bike shop where they can learn how to do repairs. The kid who runs this place, Jeff Sturges, is awesome.We're sending a bunch of Media Lab people to Detroit to work with local innovators already doing stuff on the ground."

Dear Editor, Nationally, more students are participating in doctoral education than ever before. In particular, doctoral education has benefited from dramatic increases in enrollments of international students, minorities and women. Yet, at U.S. institutions, 63 percent of Ph.D. students in the field of economics (60 percent in engineering, 45 percent in physical and mathematical sciences), are foreigners.

Les than 4% of students pass the final at MIT online courses:
