The University of Michigan (U-M) has announced three certificate programs, comprising 15 courses, on user experience research and human-computer interaction, user experience design and corporate financial analysis.

These courses on edX.org (priced between $49 and $99 per unit) are launched under the XSeries group, and they come in addition to the existing four free MOOCs on edX (priced at $49 if you take a verified certificate).

It is remarkable that U-M, through its Office of Digital Education & Innovation, plans to release 100 MOOCs by December and 100 more in 2017, according to Campus Technology.

Michigan also uses Coursera to host its MOOCs. However, the school has noted that a major appeal of the edX platform is its open source nature.
