Under the supervision of Prof. Graham Jones of MIT, Ph.D. student Shreeharsh Kelkar will study edX, a non-profit online learning enterprise jointly founded by MIT and Harvard, focusing on three communities that have organized around this infrastructure--programmers and computer scientists, educators, and learning scientists--as they go about producing the infrastructure by coding software, making online course-ware and analyzing online student activity. This project will result in a better understanding of MOOCS (Massive Open Source Online Courses). University administrators and faculty will be better informed as a result as they consider deploying MOOCs to address curricula in US higher education.

在麻省理工学院格雷厄姆·琼斯教授的指导下，学生Shreeharsh Kelkar将学习edX，这是一家由麻省理工学院和哈佛联合创立的非营利性在线学习企业，重点关注围绕这一基础设施组织的三个社区-程序员和计算机科学家，教育工作者和学习科学家-他们通过编码软件，制作在线课程软件和分析在线学生活动来生产基础设施。这个项目将导致更好地了解MOOCS（大规模开源在线课程）。因此，大学管理人员和教师在考虑部署MOOC以解决美国高等教育课程时将得到更好的信息。
