The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has revealed it is to launch the world's first ever fully automated online learning courses.
It will be free for students to sign up to and will focus on electronics, with the classes set to begin in March, reports BBC News.
The Boston-based university announced its intention to branch out into e-learning shortly before Christmas and the creation of the online courses will come under the MITx brand.
Anant Agarwal, director of MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, will be one of the teachers in charge of the online learning and stated the aim is to continue to make the course material engaging for those who sign up to take part in the scheme.
