Brown University Joins the edX Consortium and Launches Two Short Courses

Brown University has joined the edX Consortium as a Charter Member, the most exclusive partnership category where only 51 top universities belong.

The first two courses created by Brown for the edX platform are The Ethics of Memory and Artful Medicine: Art’s Power to Enrich Patient Care.

  • The 6 to 9 hour, free Ethics of Memory course, scheduled for July 11, will allow to learn “how our personal and collective memories evolve over time, and why memory and memorializing matter”.
  • The 6 to 9 hour, free Artful Medicine: Art’s Power to Enrich Patient Care course, scheduled for July 18, will examine how the medical community harnesses the power of art and empathy to improve patient care.
