Berkeley's presence on both coursera and EdX is an interesting wrinkle -- they've got a quote in another article suggesting they can't control where their professors to decide to put their content: “Ultimately, our faculty will decide where they want to put courses up online, but we find that edX has values and methodologies very closely aligned with ours at Berkeley, so our institutional preference would be to use edX,” said Robert J. Birgeneau, the chancellor of Berkeley.



I was a bit surprised to see Berkeley as well. It was pitched as such a MIT & Harvard collaboration that I didn't get the sense other schools would be involved this early on. I'm glad they are offering classes here too though, EdX seems much more quality vs quantity.

edit: woah, Dan!
