Last week we were honored to welcome Her Majesty Queen Rania of Jordan to the edX office. Working with the Queen Rania Foundation, we're developing Edraak, a first-of-its-kind Arabic language MOOC portal. We share Queen Rania's vision to create opportunity through education for those who need it most. Edraak will be powered by the edX open source platform and initially feature Arabic translations of select courses from our 29 xConsortium partners. In addition, Edraak will develop its own courses taught by leading Arab faculty members and professionals in a variety of fields. We are confident that MOOCs on Edraak will open up a world of possibility for intellectually hungry Arab youth.  - Patrick, your edX Community Manager Featured Courses There are 93 great courses now open for registration.  College Writing 2.1x BerkeleyX An introduction to academic writing for English Language Learners, focusing on essay development, grammatical correctness, and...
