Harvard Faculty Request Faculty Oversight of HarvardX (Their Usage of edX) - Phil Hill, e-literate

58 faculty members from the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Harvard wrote an open letter to the dean requesting faculty oversight of HarvardX. When schools sign up for edX, their implementations tend to be called SchoolX, thus HarvardX specifically refers to their usage of the MOOC platform, not to the overall edX organization. This distinction is important, given Harvard’s founding role in creating the edX organization and $30m pledge of support. http://mfeldstein.com/harvard-faculty-request-faculty-oversight-of-harvardx-their-usage-of-edx/
