Anyone use this?

You run edX. What exactly is it?
EdX is a massive open online course (MOOC) venture founded last year by Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. We offer free online courses from some of the best universities in the world. EdX has a million students and we're only one year old

^Thanks. I've been looking to fill a science gap. The last two sci courses I took at uni were Chem and Geology w/ lab but that was a few years ago.
