Google adds one more open source project to its list. Teaming up with MIT and Harvard’s educational site edX, Google’s launching a new online learning platform mid-2014 called mooc.org. It stands for “massive open online courses.” What differentiates it from edX is that it takes submitted from other universities, businesses, governments, and even individuals, whereas edX offers free courses just from affiliated institutions. No word yet on how courses are going to be screened or how contributors will earn money.
