This course is from Imperial College in London. It's typically ranked as one of the top 3 universities from the UK. Finally it has joined the ranks of doing a coursera course. Other noticeable absentees from coursera are Oxford and Cambridge. I know they do provide a few of their own though open courses.
I guess universities shouldn't be forced to give open courses, but it is a fantastic thing that US showed was possible and I hope that more UK universities follow suit.
- argotechnica 9y agoOxford actually has one course on EdX: https://www.edx.org/school/oxfordx https://www.edx.org/school/oxfordx My understanding is that, like many MOOCs, it is largely department/faculty driven rather than a strategic or philanthropic move by the university overall.
