EdX, one of the few non-profit MOOC providers, launched a pilot program at San Jose State University last fall for students. Before the school incorporated edX, the failure rate for that course had been a whopping 41 percent. After one semester, the failure rate for students in the flipped classroom dropped to just 9 percent.

EdX是非盈利性MOOC课程的提供者之一。去年秋天，EdX在圣何塞州立大学为学生提供了一门试用课程。在学校使用EdX课程之前，这门课的不通过率高达41%。一学期之后，通过翻转课堂学习这门课程的学生不通过率降到了9%。

"The edX course was used as a sort of new age textbook,” says edX president Anant Agarwal. "Typically students have to do reading assignments before class. Here, they watch a video, do interactive exercises, and in class they interact with the professor and each other."

EdX董事阿南特·阿格沃尔说：“EdX是一种新时代教科书。一般学生都要在课前读书预习。但在这里，他们可以看视频、做互动练习，之后再到课堂上和教授、同学互动交流。”

Agarwal says edX didn't charge San Jose State for the pilot program, but starting this fall, it will be offering the flipped course to all California State University campuses for a fee.

阿格沃尔说EdX不会对圣何塞州立大学收取使用课程费用，但从本秋季学期起，EdX将面向所有加州大学，对翻转课堂收取使用费。
