Transforming higher education...

MIT and Harvard are teaming up on a new online education initiative: Axim Collaborative, whose goal is to make learning more accessible, effective and relevant so that learners can reach their full potential. MIT News spoke with founding CEO Stephanie Khurana to learn about her vision for the venture.

Axim Collaborative CEO Stephanie Khurana is focused on listening to others in the education industry, and focusing on underrepresented students.

The two institutions debuted Axim Collaborative, a new nonprofit focused on broadening college access. The new venture offers a bold vision with scant details.  Almost two years ago, Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology sold edX, their pioneering massive open online course provider, to 2U, an online program management company. At the time, many in higher ed argued that edX’s sale to a for-profit company undermined its nonprofit mission to expand access to learning.

The effort is backed by the $800 million sale of the online platform edX in 2021.

/PRNewswire/ -- Axim Collaborative announced today the appointment of Stephanie Khurana as Chief Executive Officer. She assumes her role on April 3, 2023....

Previously known as the Center for Reimaging Learning, Axim Collaborative is the nonprofit started by Harvard and MIT.
