Description [[NOTE: Placeholder for DOI. Data still in preparation. Data are currently only accessible to qualified reviewers.]]


This dataset includes the home mailing addresses of all participants (registrants with at least one courseware action) in MITx and HarvardX courses. For U.S. residents, These mailing addresses can be parsed and geo-matched with data from the US Census to develop a suite of socioeconomic status indicators, including median neighborhood income and neighborhood level of education. We also include self-reported survey data about parental level of education, and we include an indicator for whether or not the participant earned a certificate. These data provide insight into how SES factors predict student enrollment and completion in MOOCs.
