Harvard and MIT Team Up with Google for Online Classes

The free online learning initiative overseen by Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on Tuesday added a technology giant as a partner: Google.

EdX, a nonprofit Harvard-MIT venture that provides online college courses for the masses, said Google has agreed to help develop its open-source software platform. That year-old platform, based at edx.org, offers dozens of courses from elite higher education institutions around the world. One of the partners is Georgetown University.
