is a not-for-profit enterprise of its founding partners Harvard
University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that features
learning designed specifically for interactive study via the web. Based
on a long history of collaboration and their shared educational
missions, the founders are creating a new online-learning experience
with online courses that reflect their disciplinary breadth. Along with
offering online courses, the institutions will use edX to research how
students learn and how technology can transform learning–both on-campus
and worldwide. Anant Agarwal, former Director of MIT's Computer Science
and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, serves as the first president of
edX. EdX's goals combine the desire to reach out to students of all
ages, means, and nations, and to deliver these teachings from a faculty
who reflect the diversity of its audience. EdX is based in Cambridge,
Massachusetts and is governed by MIT and Harvard.
