"The edX platform will enable the study of which teaching methods and tools are most successful. The findings of this research will be used to inform how faculty use technology in their teaching, which will enhance the experience for students on campus and for the millions expected to take advantage of these new online offerings" (EdX: The Future of Online Education is Now, ¶2).
Panelists responded to questions about the EdX research agenda beginning at approx. 18 min. into the embedded video (On-demand webcast of Wednesday's press conference). Anant Agarwal mentions two large foci: 1) technologies, for example, those supportive of collaboration as well as of personalized learning, and 2) "understanding how people learn" as they use the platform.
