<p>This spring also features Harvard's <em>Copyright</em>, taught by Harvard Law School professor William Fisher III, former law clerk to Justice Thurgood Marshall and expert on the hotly debated U.S. copyright system, which will explore the current law of copyright and the ongoing debates concerning how that law should be reformed. <em>Copyright</em> will be offered as an experimental course, taking advantage of different combinations and uses of teaching materials, educational technologies, and the edX platform. 500 learners will be selected through an open application process that begins in late January 2013.</p>

<p>These new courses would not be possible without the contributions of key edX institutions, including UC Berkeley, which is the inaugural chair of the “X University” consortium and major contributor to the platform. All of the courses will be hosted on edX’s innovative platform at <ahref="http://www.edx.org">www.edx.org</a> and are open for registration as of today. EdX expects to announce a second set of spring 2013 courses in the future.</p>
