MORE top universities outside the United States are joining the rush to offer "massive open online courses" that are broadening access to higher education.
Coursera and edX, two leading providers of so-called MOOCs, yesterday announced major expansions that will roughly double the number of university partners offering free online classes through their websites.
Mountain View, California-based Coursera said it will add 29 institutions, including 16 outside the US. Over the next several months, they will offer about 90 new courses, including some taught in French, Spanish, Italian and Chinese.
"Having courses taught in other languages will enable more students to take our classes," said Andrew Ng, a Stanford University professor who co-founded Coursera.
Coursera now offers 220 courses from 33 institutions and has nearly 2.8 million registered users, Ng said.
The new partners include Chinese University of Hong Kong and Technical University of Denmark.
