<p class="MsoNormal">I work at Grinnell College providing alternate format materials and assistive technology for our students. We are kicking off a pilot Guided Learning Program this summer that offers Grinnell students academic credit by pairing digital
content provided by an approved third party online platform with instruction from a Grinnell College faculty member. The platforms under consideration are edX and iversity. I am concerned about edX because of the recent Harvard/M.I.T. suit and haven’t found
much information about iversity. Does anyone have any information about the accessibility of either of these platforms?
