EdX: From MicroMasters to Online Master’s Degrees - Lindsay McKenzie, Inside Higher Ed

Six more institutions are following Georgia Tech’s lead and launching affordable online master’s degrees with edX. Online learning provider edX this week took a big step into the online degree space by announcing plans to launch nine low-cost, large-scale, fully online master’s programs from selective institutions. The nonprofit company, one of the early providers of massive open online courses, or MOOCs, will offer the degrees from seven universities: the Georgia Institute of Technology; the University of Texas at Austin; Indiana University; the University of California, San Diego; Arizona State University and two Australian universities -- the University of Queensland and Curtin University. https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2018/10/12/edx-launches-nine-low-cost-online-degrees
