The Australian National University (ANU) announced it has joined the edX on-line course consortium ("
ANU joins edX online education revolution", 21 February 2013).
edX was originally set up by MIT and Harvard University to provide
Massive Open On-line Courses (MOOCs). ANU Vice-Chancellor Professor Ian Young announced the first two ANUx courses would be
Astrophysics by
Nobel Laureate Professor Brian Schmidt and
Engaging India by
Dr McComas Taylor. Also I have offered to prepare a MOOC version of my award winning
ICT Sustainability course, which has been run on-line at ANU since 2009 and uses an
open access e-book, but I am no Nobel Laureate, or Sanskrit scholar. ;-)
