Dear Colleagues , An interesting stud appeared in the MIT News: MIT and Harvard University today announced the release of a series of working papers based on 17 online courses offered on the edX <http://mit.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8e59dcfcecf8036039ece3f6f& id=3a82593032&e=3fde71f0b2> platform. Run in 2012 and 2013, the courses analyzed drew upon diverse topics - from ancient Greek poetry to electromagnetism - and an array of disciplines, from public health to engineering to law. The working paper series features detailed reports about individual courses; these reports reveal differences and commonalities among massive open online courses (MOOCs). In the coming weeks, data sets and interactive visualization tools will also be made available.
