[LINK] ANU in edX e-Learning Consortium

[Tom Worthington]

The Australian National University (ANU) announced it has joined the edX 
on-line course consortium: 
http://news.anu.edu.au/2013/02/21/anu-joins-edx-online-education-revolution/

edX was set up by MIT and Harvard University to provide Massive Open 
On-line Courses (MOOCs). The first two ANUx courses will be 
"Astrophysics" by Nobel Laureate Professor Brian Schmidt and "Engaging 
India" by Dr McComas Taylor.

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. ;-)
