In a new course, MIT students built prototype heat monitors to help Miami-Dade County officials understand where commuters are underserved by their bus network. The monitors can help pinpoint bus stops and lines in need of improvements, such as the addition of shade-giving structures or higher rates of bus service.

This June, 23 faculty and instructors from over a dozen departments, labs, and centers across MIT were honored with Teaching with Digital Technology Awards in an online celebration hosted by the Office of Open Learning.
Established in 2016 and co-sponsored by MIT Open Learning and the Office of the Vice Chancellor, these awards were originally intended primarily as a means of recognizing innovative use of digital technologies in the context of MIT’s in-person, on-campus classes. But in the last two award cycles, during which nearly all residential courses have moved online, the awards have come to represent that and much more: the enduring yet ever-evolving spirit of collaboration and mutual support within the MIT community as faculty, students, and staff continue to grapple with the challenges presented by the Covid-19 pandemic.
