Have you heard of edX? EdX is a joint partnership between The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard University to offer online learning to millions of people around the world. EdX will offer Harvard and MIT classes online for free. Through this partnership, the institutions aim to extend their collective reach to build a global community of online learners and to improve education for everyone. Personally, I see edX as turning e-education "up to 11".
I've previously referenced oped posts about the future of online education, including this one that paints a stark picture of the future - at least, for campuses that do not adapt to online teaching. EdX seems to be an interesting leap forward, at the same time a risky gamble and exciting opportunity for e-learning. I'm curious to see how edX will evolve. Stay tuned!
