  • Sujood from Sudan: An Open Learner's Story
    Sujood Khalid Eldouma recently relocated to the UK for her master’s studies, having previously lived in Egypt after fleeing her native Sudan to escape the devastating civil war in that country. Sujood holds a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from the University of Khartoum, but her ambitions extend far beyond the field she was trained in. She recently graduated from the MIT Emerging Talent certificate program in Computer and Data Science and is pursuing a MicroMasters in statistics and data science through the support of MIT Emerging Talent. In this episode, we hear how Sujood and her classmates at the university in Khartoum used MIT OpenCourseWare lecture videos as the basis of a group learning experience, in which knowledge was shared and lasting friendships were formed. We also hear how Sujood is pursuing her current online studies not just as a means of self-improvement but as part of the groundwork for a much bigger, future project: helping to rebuild Sudan’s educational and scientific infrastructure when peace comes to that country. “I'm not doing it just for myself,” she says. “I'm not doing it just for my family, but in the bigger picture and with a heart filled with hope.”The Open Learners podcast is produced by Alexis Haut and hosted by Emmanuel Kasigazi and Michael Jordan Pilgreen.Relevant Resources:MIT OpenCourseWareThe OCW Educator portalMIT Emerging Talent programMIT MicroMasters Program in Statistics and Data ScienceMusic in this episode by Blue Dot Sessions Share Your Open Learning StoryTo share your own open learning story with Michael and Emmanuel, send them an email at [email protected].

  • Jerry from Uganda: An Open Learner's Story
    They say every crisis also presents an opportunity. Open learner Jerry Vance Anguzu seized one such opportunity in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, when his native country of Uganda went into lockdown. Jerry was stuck at home, unable to earn a living, but that enforced inactivity gave him the chance to pursue new directions in his education. A few years earlier, he had discovered MIT OpenCourseWare and had seen what it had to offer; now he returned to MIT Open Learning resources in earnest, plowing through courses in data science and computer programming; soon thereafter he was accepted into the MIT Emerging Talent certificate program, where he began to develop an interest in entrepreneurship. Now, just a few years later, Jerry has his own startup, Everpesa Technologies, a financial services platform that offers sustainable investment opportunities and financial literacy resources to people in sub-Saharan Africa. Along the way, he has become a self-described “OCW ambassador,” enthusiastically spreading the word to relatives and colleagues about the learning resources that are available online through MIT OpenCourseWare. “You don’t need to pay anything,” Jerry tells them. “You just need to have a bit of time.”The Open Learners podcast is produced by Alexis Haut and hosted by Emmanuel Kasigazi and Michael Jordan Pilgreen.Relevant Resources:MIT OpenCourseWareThe OCW Educator portalMIT Emerging Talent programMIT Jameel World Education LabMIT MicroMasters Program in Statistics and Data ScienceEverpesa website6.0001 Introduction to Computer Science and Programming in Python on MIT OpenCourseWareMusic in this episode by Blue Dot Sessions Share Your Open Learning StoryTo share your own open learning story with Michael and Emmanuel, send them an email at [email protected].

  • Lotfullah from Afghanistan: An Open Learner's Story
    Our guest for this episode, Lotfullah Andishmand, grew up in a village in rural Afghanistan where there was no internet access or electric lights. (He describes having had to navigate by moonlight to get to his uncle’s house for tutoring in chemistry.) In search of educational opportunity, he eventually moved to Kabul, where he discovered MIT OpenCourseWare’s lecture videos while studying electrical engineering at the university. Even there, though, the internet infrastructure was shaky enough that Lotfullah often resorted to downloading the course materials so he could study them at leisure when broadband wasn’t available. He now resides in India and recently graduated from the MIT Emerging Talent certificate program in Computer and Data Science, specifically designed for displaced communities worldwide. As he continues his educational journey in data science and artificial intelligence, he remains deeply mindful of the challenges he encountered as a student in his home country. Recognizing that most of the available online educational resources are in English, a language few Afghans are fluent in, Lotfullah has used his computer skills to create an online learning platform offering educational materials in Persian. Someday, he hopes the platform will expand to include full online courses with direct interaction between instructors and students.The Open Learners podcast is produced by Alexis Haut and hosted by Emmanuel Kasigazi and Michael Jordan Pilgreen. Relevant Resources:MIT OpenCourseWareThe OCW Educator portalMIT Emerging Talent programMIT MicroMasters Program in Statistics and Data Science6.0001 Introduction to Computer Science and Programming in Python on MIT OpenCourseWareHooshmand Lab online learning website (in Persian)Music in this episode by Blue Dot Sessions Share Your Open Learning StoryTo share your own open learning story with Michael and Emmanuel, send them an email at [email protected].

  • Nader from Jordan: An Open Learner's Story
    When Nader AlEtaywi was in high school in Jordan, he had a passion for finance but his prospects seemed limited. Juggling his studies, minimum-wage jobs, and family crises made it hard to envision a future where he could develop his talents and flourish in his chosen field. Through sheer perseverance he finished high school and entered university, where during the Covid pandemic in late 2020 he discovered the world of educational resources that MIT Open Learning offers. He devoured MIT OpenCourseWare courses in statistics, computer programming, and calculus, and soon realized that he could take steps toward a career in finance by enrolling in a MITx MicroMasters program. The program’s instructional team recognized Nader’s talent, and when he finished the program they offered him a position as a teaching assistant. From there, drawing on the skills he had learned but also on the online community he had become a part of, Nader was able to get jobs in his field, first working for a financial firm in Jordan, and then for companies in the US and Dubai. In this episode, we hear his inspiring story of passion and perseverance.The Open Learners podcast is produced by Alexis Haut and hosted by Emmanuel Kasigazi and Michael Jordan Pilgreen. Relevant Resources:MIT OpenCourseWareThe OCW Educator portalMIT MicroMasters Program in FinanceDr. Egor Matveyev (MIT faculty page)Prof. Andrew Lo (MIT faculty page)Courses by Prof. Lo on MIT OpenCourseWareMusic in this episode by Blue Dot Sessions Share Your Open Learning StoryTo share your own open learning story with Michael and Emmanuel, send them an email at [email protected].

  • Jae-Min from South Korea: An Open Learner’s Story
    Jae-Min Hong, our guest for this episode, is a hungry learner with wide-ranging curiosity and a distrust of groupthink. A native of South Korea, she has been fluent in English from childhood, which has opened up many educational possibilities for her. Aiming to widen her cultural horizons, she opted to attend high school in New Zealand; a few years later, she transferred from a Korean university to an American one so she could attend in-person classes during the Covid pandemic. With the help of lecture videos from MIT OpenCourseWare, Jae-Min was able to supplement her formal studies and pursue all the subjects that interest her, from chemistry and thermodynamics through data science and financial technology. She’s now back in South Korea, where she’s finishing a degree in economics at Yonsei University. She feels it’s time for her to really focus her attention on a single field and a single goal, a career in investment banking. But if that doesn’t work out, she says, she can always come back to MIT OpenCourseWare and dip once more into the wealth of resources it has to offer.  The Open Learners podcast is produced by Alexis Haut.Relevant Resources:MIT OpenCourseWareThe OCW Educator portal5.60 Thermodynamics & Kinetics on MIT OpenCourseWare15.401 Finance Theory I on MIT OpenCourseWare18.06 Linear Algebra on MIT OpenCourseWareProf. Gilbert Strang (MIT faculty page)RES.18-005 Highlights of Calculus (including “The Big Picture of Calculus”) on MIT OpenCourseWareMusic in this episode by Blue Dot Sessions Share Your Open Learning StoryTo share your own open learning story with Michael and Emmanuel, send them an email at [email protected].
