Thanks for the clarification on certificates, ss20ts.
I haven't looked into the rumor of institutions fleeing from the edx platform. I know that ASU transitioned much (all?) of its Earned Admission courses from edx to its own platforms or providers like Canvas. And I don't think they are using EdX for new credit-eligible MOOCs. The courses for the global leadership MOOCs aren't using the edx platform, for example.
I wonder if the previous person is referring to that, or maybe the fact that Harvard has an online masters programs that it runs through its extension. But Harvard still has things going on at edx as well.
So some of the larger schools may be able to take this in stride, but I think this is very bad news for a lot of the smaller schools like TESU that were using edX to reach a new audience.
