However, Carnegie Mellon University courses are not collections of material created by individual faculty to support traditional instruction. While Carnegie Mellon University OLI courses are often used by instructors to support classroom instruction, OLI online courses are designed to support an individual learner, who does not have the benefit of an instructor.

There is no admission process for the Open Learning Initiative (OLI) of Carnegie Mellon University.
