Always wanted to take a class at Harvard? MIT? Berkeley? Now you can. Better still, you can take that class free, online, wherever you are.
EdX is the brainchild of a partnership between Harvard and MIT. The goal? To provide the best courses, from the best professors, via the best schools, in an interactive classroom environment that brings learners together from all over the world. There are a variety of certificate options available to students, including the free honors certificate. EdX can also guide you in ways to receive high school and university credit for the work you do in edX courses. For our GermU Launch we are featuring the HarvardX course ChinaX. Our Creative Director and Staff Ninja, Shannon Duval, has been a student since course launch October 31st, 2013.
