Arizona State University’s model of inclusiveness vs. exclusivity has expanded even further into Massive Open Online Courses, or MOOCs. MOOCs are online classes that the public can attend for free, ranging in topics and experts. Many MOOCs offer paid certificates and a smaller amount offer college credit. ASU has partnered with edX, a MOOC platform that allows the public to take college-level classes for no cost. EdX was created by MIT and Harvard University in 2012 as a nonprofit open-source software learning platform.
