The first seven courses to be offered under edX — set to open to at various dates in September and October — will probably reach thousands of students around the globe. But both MIT and UC Berkeley, who joined the online learning initiative in July, say they also plan to use the edX platform to enhance education for their own students. How are the edX schools progressing towards this goal? EdX president Anant Agarwal hopes that edX will eventually be able to “influence all of MIT’s on-campus education,” across all its disciplines, he told The Tech last week. So far, however, the course offering is limited. Five of the seven courses to be offered this fall are in the fields of computer science or electrical engineering.
