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.
