Introduced in the Open edX 2023 conference at the MIT Campus, Axim Collaborative is a new online education initiative by Hardvard and MIT. It is a venture designed for an underserved group of students with less access to quality education.
- The two institutions are funding Axim Collaborative with $700 Million they received for the sale of edX, an online learning platform that was founded in 2012.
- Stephanie Khurana, is the founding CEO.
- During the interview, she mentioned that Axim Collaborative is taking on the responsibility of preserving edX’s original mission, which is to offer increased accessibility to high-quality learning opportunities.
- Axim Collaborative supports the Open edX platform that serves global learners.
- It also runs the Open edX project, which provides scalable learning software technology to educational institutions, government organizations and enterprises.
- Axim as a name – is the hybrid of the two ideas of access and impact.
- The nonprofit is determined to steer ahead by catalyzing new digital and education practices that engage students, aid them to ace in their programs and excel in their careers.
- The nonprofit is focused on partnering with institutions and organizations that are deeply committed to educational equity, all in support of strong student outcomes and a deeper social impact.
