ANANT AGARWAL: Welcome to edX.

3
00:00:01,510 --> 00:00:04,480
I'm Anant Agarwal, I'm
the president of edX,

4
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,430
I'm also a professor of electrical
engineering and computer science

5
00:00:07,430 --> 00:00:08,400
at MIT.

6
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,120
Online learning is
revolutionizing the world.

7
00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:14,290
Education will never be
the same again, and edX

8
00:00:14,290 --> 00:00:16,650
is at the cutting edge
of this revolution,

9
00:00:16,650 --> 00:00:20,790
so when you take edX courses online,
you are part of this evolution.

10
00:00:20,790 --> 00:00:23,550
Online learning is the
ultimate democratizer.

11
00:00:23,550 --> 00:00:26,190
When you learn on edX,
you're joining a community.

12
00:00:26,190 --> 00:00:31,470
Imagine taking a class with 100,000
or more students-- this social,

13
00:00:31,470 --> 00:00:32,467
this is a lot of fun.

00:00:32,467 --> 00:00:34,050
I think you will enjoy the experience.

15
00:00:34,050 --> 00:00:37,400
At edX it's about people,
it's not about profit.

16
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:42,060
For you, edX is about the best courses
from the best schools and the best

17
00:00:42,060 --> 00:00:42,910
professors.

18

Becoming a member of edX is easy.

19
00:00:45,649 --> 00:00:47,690
SPEAKER 2: We're really

00:01:00,870 --> 00:01:01,860
It's that easy.

25
00:01:01,860 --> 00:01:05,150
Choose wisely, you're selecting
courses from the best schools

26
00:01:05,150 --> 00:01:06,570
all around the world.

27
00:01:06,570 --> 00:01:08,570
Make sure to check the prerequisites.

28
00:01:08,570 --> 00:01:11,506
Now you can choose your
course and you're on your way.

29
00:01:11,506 --> 00:01:12,509
Welcome to the club.

30
00:01:12,509 --> 00:01:15,550
SPEAKER 3: Now that you've signed up
for course, you can view courseware.

31
00:01:15,550 --> 00:01:18,680
The courseware is made up of
great videos, automated feedback,

32
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,030
and cool interactive features,
all for self-paced learning.

33
00:01:22,030 --> 00:01:24,080
The interactives are
designed to help you

34
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,630
explore your understanding
of key concepts.

35
00:01:26,630 --> 00:01:29,786
A big part of edX is getting
instant feedback on your answers,

36
00:01:29,786 --> 00:01:31,660
frequently in the form
of a green check mark.

37
00:01:31,660 --> 00:01:33,659
In a lot of questions,
you can try as many times

38
00:01:33,659 --> 00:01:35,570
as you need to get that right answer.

39
00:01:35,570 --> 00:01:38,490
Courses can be tough, we make
sure that they're rigorous,

40
00:01:38,490 --> 00:01:40,235
but they can also be a lot of fun.

41
00:01:40,235 --> 00:01:42,970
A big part of edX is the social aspect.

42
00:01:42,970 --> 00:01:45,660
You can be a social as you
want on the discussion boards.

43
00:01:45,660 --> 00:01:47,940
In our forums, there's
an active community.

44
00:01:47,940 --> 00:01:50,790
It's not just the professors,
students help each other out.

45
00:01:50,790 --> 00:01:53,902
A typical course can run a
semester length, or about 12 weeks.

46
00:01:53,902 --> 00:01:56,610
At the end of that course, if
you've met the course requirements,

47
00:01:56,610 --> 00:01:58,310
you can get a certificate of mastery.

48
00:01:58,310 --> 00:02:01,920
Once you've completed the course, you're
part of our group of lifelong learners.

00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,300
