Harvard and MIT plan to boost college access and completion for learners historically left behind using proceeds from the sale of edX to 2U.

A growing number of students are using a new feature on MIT's mobile app to access buildings and pay for coffee on campus.

The online course platform EdX, founded by MIT and Harvard in 2012, is set to become 2U's public benefit arm.

Expertise and resources from both organizations will aspire to drive "fundamental advancements" in the field.

Top universities from around the world have announced a partnership consolidating efforts to develop digital credentials that are easier to share.

The new offerings include technology specialties like analytics and cybersecurity, and focus on low enrollment costs.
