Day 2 at #OEGlobal2026: What happens when MIT Open Learning meets Wikipedia?
Curt Newton and Peter B. Kaufman of MIT Open Learning joined Wikipedia’s Andrew Lih to share how they’re bringing MIT course materials to the places people already go to learn. In just a few months, more than 1,500 MIT images have been added to Wikimedia Commons, and they now appear in articles across 51 language editions.
The takeaway from the room: Open knowledge grows when more people help share it.

Other sports already have it. Automatic strike zones in baseball. VAR in soccer. Sensor tech in tennis. So where's the tech for the National Basketball Association (NBA)?
Jadal Williams, a PhD student at MIT Sports Lab, is answering that question. His research shows how tracking data, sensors, and video can help referees make split-second calls with more accuracy and less bias.

Career paths don't always go straight up.
Andrea H., a retired Air Force major, was struggling in her first semester of graduate school at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A mentor recommended MIT OpenCourseWare. Between semesters, she studied linear algebra and gained the foundation she needed.
Today, she's a PhD candidate in aeronautics and astronautics and mentors other military veterans making the transition to academia. Her path reminds us that sometimes the resources that matter most are free.
