New edX Courses Starting Soon. How Will You Connect To A Better Future?

Connect with us:             Introducing XSeries and ID Verified Certificates

With so many courses starting this week and soon after (70+), we want you to get the most out of your edX experience. That doesn't just mean the knowledge and skills you'll gain personally, but also the value you can bring to employers and society.  So, based on your feedback, we just launched a pilot program for ID verified Certificates of Achievement (for 3 courses - 6.002x, CS169.1x, Stat2.1x). Our goal is to make it easier for you to show an employer, admissions officer or your friends proof of the hard work you and you alone put in at edX. Learn more.  We also just launched a new concept called XSeries. You can now achieve an XSeries certificate if you pass all the courses in a specific sequence as defined by our university partners. Check out the two new XSeries we just launched from MITx in Computer Science and Supply Chain Management. More XSeries and Verified Certificate options are on the way too. - Patrick your edX Community Manager Featured Courses Explore the newest edX courses starting in the next few weeks!  Learning From Data CaltechX Introductory Machine Learning course covering theory, algorithms and applications.
