The organization that team B selected is Harvard University and MITx distant learning. It is a joint partnership built on MITx and Harvard University’s distance learning; it aims to benefit campus-based education and beyond.
Harvard University and MIT promoted edX, a transformational new partnership in online education. Through edX, which is new technology, collaboration with the two institutions will enhance campus-based teaching and learning and build a global community of online learners.
The technological platform recently established by MITx will serve as the foundation for the new learning system.
The organization can be evaluated by offering online versions of MIT courses featuring video lesson segments, embedded quizzes, immediate feedback, student-ranked questions and answers, online laboratories and student paced learning. EdX represents a unique opportunity to improve education on the campus through online learning, while simultaneously creating a bold new educational path for millions of learners worldwide.

Open Education on the move
Betty this initiative between Harvard and MIT is truly fascinating! This edX model will offer some innovative learning experiences for students all over the world who have a computer and an internet source. This open-source manner will allow other Universities to have access to the emerging technologies to create or improve their online offerings. Everybody wins!
