HarvardX for Alumni, a program that offers online course content specifically to University alumni, drew 25,000 registrants in its first iteration last March, thousands more than initially expected, but received mixed responses from those who enrolled. The initiative is a partnership between the Harvard Alumni Association and HarvardX, the University’s branch of the online learning platform edX. Philip W. Lovejoy, executive director of the Harvard Alumni Association, said that he anticipated only a few thousand to enroll when the program began last spring. Despite the high number of registrations, alumni responses to the quality of the program were mixed.
