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. http://www.afr.com/p/national/education/top_mooc_provider_edx_no_longer_FooMSmV3LdSQHYGKND4LoI
