EdX seems quite Microsoft heavy. But Google has released a lot of material on Udacity, and they have other connections (Thrun). Just curious.

Google just sponsored Web app developer and Android developer nanodegrees to thousands of people. https://www.udacity.com/google-scholarships I guess they are giving big players like udacity and coursera even support.
