Top MOOC provider edX no longer free for all - TIM DODD, Financial Review
Leading MOOC provider edX has broken from its fee-free ethos and will charge for professional education courses starting next year. Fees for the five courses announced so far range from $US49 to $US1249 ($1421), a departure for edX, which until now has offered courses for free. Until now, edX has only charged to issue a student with a verified certificate of completion, and then in only some courses.
