Every fall, fewer than 40 students gain admission to the popular Harvard Kennedy School course Government 1796: “Central Challenges of American National Security, Strategy, and the Press: An Introduction.” When on October 1 the Kennedy School launches HKS211.1x, the virtual version of the class and the school’s first ever HarvardX offering, the number of students in one semester able to earn some form of credit for the course will increase tenfold. The course will be the second SPOC—small, private, online course—on HarvardX, the Harvard subset of the larger edX initiative, after HLS1x: “Copyright.” Like HLS1x, HKS211.1x will have a 500-participant cap.
