EdX will offer a sequence of courses in Computer Science

Does anyone know the series on CS? Does the CS student in MIT also learn this series? Are there some MIT students on HN to talk about the courses?

     6X.1 Introduction to Computer Science and Programming in Python | Fall 2013
    6X.2 Introduction to Computational Thinking and Data Science | Spring 2014
    6X.3 Software Construction in Java 1 | Fall 2014
    6X.4 Software Construction in Java 2 | Spring 2015
    6X.5 Computation Structures: Digital Circuits | Fall 2014
    6X.6 Computation Structures: Programmable Architectures | Spring 2015
    6X.7 Computation Structures: Computer Systems Organization | Fall 2015

As a student currently enrolled in a distance education uni' compsci program, this is a godsend. My program basically consists of being given a textbook and a examination date, and what most students do is basically memorize various exercises from previous years' exams to repeat the pattern during the actual exam. I have found edX courses to be much higher quality that other MOOC provider's and this will hopefully be an opportunity to learn programming and computer architecture for real.
