Two Boston-area community colleges will offer an adapted version of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology online course in computer science with funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Bunker Hill and MassBay community colleges will list the course -- Introduction to Computer Science and Programming -- beginning early next year, officials from the colleges said today. The course will combine materials from MIT and Harvard University’s EdX online teaching venture with classroom sessions, they said in a statement.
