Since this is the closest board to finding people who actually care about college education, what do you guys think about edX?

>>	Anonymous Sat May 5 05:00:51 2012 No.4648281 is it going to be free?

>For a modest fee, and as determined by the edX board, MIT and Harvard, credentials will be granted only to students who earn them by demonstrating mastery of the material of a subject.

"Modest fee" is the only information so far.

>>	Gilgamesh !!JNVkU2/omZB Sat May 5 07:55:16 2012 No.4648518 >>4648497 As I understand it, the courses themselves will be free but you'll need to pay for the certification if you qualify for it at the end.
