M.I.T. and Harvard combined forces to help create a nonprofit consortium called edX about a year ago. Now Google is joining in to help create Open edX, an interface open to anyone to help create online courses in conjunction with MOOC.org, which will help anyone offer online courses to anyone in the world. This is in development still.
I must check this out. I have extensive experience with a program from MIT's Lifelong Kindergarten group. I know MIT has awesome quality when it comes to education. Now Google (my hero) is coming in with an open source project called Open edX. As a computer scientist, this is amazing.
