<h3>What is edX?</h3>
<p>EdX is a not-for-profit enterprise of its founding partners, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard University that offers online learning to on-campus students and to millions of people around the world. To do so, edX is building an open-source online learning platform and hosts an online web portal at <a href="http://www.edx.org">www.edx.org</a> for online education.</p>
<p>EdX currently offers HarvardX, <em>MITx</em> and BerkeleyX classes online for free. These institutions aim to extend their collective reach to build a global community of online students. Along with offering online courses, the three universities undertake research on how students learn and how technology can transform learning – both on-campus and online throughout the world.</p>

<h3>What are "X Universities"?</h3>
......@@ -36,9 +37,18 @@
<p>UC Berkeley will also serve as the inaugural chair of the "X University" Consortium for an initial 5 year period. As Chair, UC Berkeley will participate on the edX Board on behalf of the X Universities.</p>

<article class="response">
<h3>Why is edX only adding one X University?</h3>
<p>More than 120 universities from around the world have expressed interest in collaborating with edX since Harvard and MIT announced its creation in May. EdX is focused above all on quality and developing the best non-profit model for online education. In addition to providing online courses on the edX platform, the "X University" Consortium will be a forum in which members can share experiences around online learning. </p>
<p>EdX will actively explore the addition of other institutions from around the world to the edX platform, and we look forward to adding more "X Universities" as capacity increases. </p>
<h3>Why is The University of Texas System joining edX?</h3>
<p>Joining edX not only allows UT faculty to showcase their work on a global stage, but also provides UT students the opportunity to take classes from their choice of UT institutions, as well as MIT, Harvard, UC Berkeley and future &ldquo;X&rdquo; Universities.</p>
<p>The UT System closely examined all the alternatives and determined that edX offered the best fit in terms of alignment of mission, platform and revenue model. The strength and reputation of the partner institutions – MIT, Harvard and UC Berkeley – was also a huge consideration. EdX is committed to both blended and online learning and to a non-profit, open source model. It is also governed by a board of academics with a commitment to excellence in learning.</p>
</article>
<article class="response">
<h3>What will The UT System’s direct participation entail?</h3>
<p>The UT System will begin by offering one course on edX from The University of Texas at Austin in Summer 2013, and four courses in Fall 2013, likely at least one of those courses from one of its health institutions. The UT System is also making a $5 million investment in the edX platform. We will explore, experiment and innovate together.</p>

<h3>Will edX be adding additional X Universities?</h3>
<p>More than 140 institutions from around the world have expressed interest in collaborating with edX since Harvard and MIT announced its creation in May. EdX is focused above all on quality and developing the best not-for-profit model for online education. In addition to providing online courses on the edX platform, the &ldquo;X University&rdquo; Consortium will be a forum in which members can share experiences around online learning. Harvard, MIT, UC Berkeley and the UT System will work collaboratively to establish the &ldquo;X University&rdquo; Consortium, whose membership will expand to include additional &ldquo;X Universities&rdquo; as soon as possible. Each member of the consortium will offer courses on the edX platform as an &ldquo;X University.&rdquo; The gathering of many universities’ educational content together on one site will enable learners worldwide to access the course content of any participating university from a single website, and to use a set of online educational tools shared by all participating universities.</p>
<p>EdX will actively explore the addition of other institutions from around the world to the edX platform, and we look forward to adding more &ldquo;X Universities&rdquo; as capacity increases. </p>

<p>Educating students, providing care for patients, conducting groundbreaking research and serving the needs of Texans and the nation for more than 130 years, The University of Texas System is one of the largest public university systems in the United States, with nine academic universities and six health science centers. Student enrollment exceeded 215,000 in the 2011 academic year. The UT System confers more than one-third of the state’s undergraduate degrees and educates nearly three-fourths of the state’s health care professionals annually. The UT System has an annual operating budget of $13.1 billion (FY 2012) including $2.3 billion in sponsored programs funded by federal, state, local and private sources. With roughly 87,000 employees, the UT System is one of the largest employers in the state.</p>
