New edX courses

[rjbond3rd]

Perhaps this is totally beside the point, but:

* Usability nitpick 1: The course names are JS hyperlinks which happen to be tab-unfriendly (when non-mobile)

* Usability nitpick 2: There's no real search, and the two select's have to be executed serially -- seems like a step backwards to me.

* Nothing against the schools that -are- on the list, but "Take great courses from the world's best colleges and universities" seems inflated, if you think about the schools -not- on the list. And given that there -are- great schools on the list, that slogan is trying too hard (to me, anyway).

Just fyi, you can tab a link with the "More" link at the end of the descriptions.

Here is a one page view of all the edx courses:

Looks like some of the dates have changed. I will update them later tonight.

This view is much more usable than the official one. Thanks!

Scrolling through the list of classes is always so depressing. I want the time to take all of them.

Coursera is the only one of these bigger MOOC sites (edX, Udacity, even Udemy) I have yet to try a course from but that is going to change soon because they are offering Constitutional Law with Akhil Reed Amar from Yale and even though I already graduated from law school, I'm interested to see what an online con law class looks like (and of that supposed caliber).

Looking forward to hearing what Vazirani has to say about D-Wave in the Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Computation course.

I much prefer Udacity to this and Coursera. I do not have the free time of a dedicated student to adhere to a strict window for assignments and the like. Sometimes, I can't work on the course for weeks at a time, other times I've been able to finish the entire course load in a weekend. Strict time frames are moronic imho

How many Udacity courses have you actually finished? I'm doing 40 hours a week; and I've finished two Coursera courses. I appreciate having a system that forces me to focus on a single subject for a month or two. I'm too scattered in how my interests sway me otherwise.

Personally, I like the strict schedule, because it forces me to be disciplined. Otherwise I may be lazy :-)

I only take one class at a time, though.

If you sign up for a coursera course, do you have access after the term ends?
