UC Berkeley announced today that it has joined the online edX program and will be offering courses in the fall. Founded by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard University, the edX program was launched in May as a not-for-profit interactive study platform. The brainchild of the former Director of MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Anant Agarwal, edX serves to offer free courses to learners around the world. Originally, specific MIT and Harvard courses were on offer. Now, however, the University of California, Berkeley has been added to the platform, making the academic institution the third “X” university to participate. UC Berkeley will offer two courses on edX this fall.
