Why the MIT Omnichannel Education Lab?

Online learning is revolutionizing education on campus, in the workplace, and in the home, offering a multitude of learning options. The MIT Omnichannel Education Lab’s mission is to pioneer innovation and practice for the leaders of this new era of education and learning. We envision a world where educators deliver high-quality, high-impact omnichannel learning programs both online asynchronous and synchronous, and in-person to any individual in any location who wants to learn.

As a practitioner or a manager, what do you expect to learn about related to the field of Supply Chain Management (SCM) in the next five to ten years? Share your thoughts here in our short survey to help us better understand what you expect from SCM education. Join us in creating better learning environments for the future.
The Challenge
In today’s ever-changing commercial environment, individuals must continuously update their knowledge and skills to keep pace with advances in technology and workplace management. Online and “blended” or “hybrid” learning programs provide more accessible and flexible ways to learn and acquire new abilities required in this changing landscape.


Our Response
In response, we are dedicated to helping educators design and deliver online (synchronous and asynchronous), in-person, and hybrid learning engagements for working professionals. Our goal is to enable these educators to offer programs that maximize professionals’ learning objectives, optimize their engagements, and advance their life-long career plans.
