As online courses proliferate with the launch of initiatives like edX at Harvard and MIT earlier this year, Newton-based Software Secure has announced a partnership with the International Center for Academic Integrity to develop a standardized criteria for evaluating such courses. The partnership will focus on developing The Trusted Seal, which can be awarded to online courses that meet a set of standards to educate, promote and protect academic integrity in the online learning environment, according to the company.
