EdX will now offer courses geared toward employers and employees in the professional sphere, marking the second move by the platform this fall to target a new audience for its MOOCs. Anant Agarwal, the platform’s CEO, announced the launch of the new courses on the edX blog Tuesday, writing that the courses “will be offered in a convenient manner, tailored to busy schedules, and will reduce costly travel time and expenses for both.” Rice University, MIT, and Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands will begin offering these professional education courses in 2015. The first of the five courses listed on edX’s website is slotted to begin in Jan. 2015.
