Coursera and edX Expand—And Why That's Good For Your Resume

Two free online learning websites, Coursera.org and edX, have announced major expansion plans that will nearly double the number of universities offering their online courses, or MOOCs. If you're looking to improve your resume, advance your career, or change your job path altogether—things are looking up for you!
 
Imagine taking Computer Science 101 from Stanford University, Control of Mobile Robots from Georgia Tech, or Songwriting from the Berklee College of Music. How about studying International Management through the University of Geneva, or taking a college course in a foreign language? Coursera now encompasses an impressive online education community which boasts the best professors from 62 top universities in two dozen countries teaching internet courses in five languages—and all free of charge.
