**MIT Open Learning** is a [Massachusetts Institute of Technology](/source/Massachusetts_Institute_of_Technology) (MIT) organization,[1][2] headed by Dimitris Bertsimas,[3] that oversees several MIT educational initiatives, such as [MIT Open CourseWare](/source/MIT_Open_CourseWare), MITx,[4] [MicroMasters](/source/MicroMasters),[5] MIT Bootcamps[6] and others.[7]

MIT Open Learning develops new "to-campus" and "to-job" pathways for learners by combining its credentials (MicroMasters), online programs (MITx) and in-person programs (MIT Bootcamps).[8][9][10][11][12]

MIT Open Learning is composed of the following programmatic units:

- MIT Open Courseware

- MITx MicroMasters

- Abdul Latif Jameel World Education Lab

- MIT Integrated Learning Initiative

- MIT xPro
