iii. Professionals not enrolled in post-secondary education are also NOT eligible to be

Referring back to a previous post and reply: https://vexforum.com/showthread.php?t=75533
The question was asked:
“Does this mean that high school students taking college courses while still at high school are eligible to drive? And if so, students taking college courses online? (for example edx.org).”
The reply was:
“Yes, this would be legal.”
Will you please clarify whether the example of edx.org given in the question is considered to be a post-secondary school? I understand that edx.org is an open-learning enterprise research project (MOOC) offering a sample of courses for the purposes of studying how technology transforms learning. What makes them unique is that there are Harvard and MIT professors tied to the courses, and they grant certificates for successful completion of a course. However, there is no admissions process; anyone with an Internet connection may sign up for a course. Students taking courses are not considered to be college students of Harvard or MIT. Maybe this is the future of higher education, but for this competition, please clarify if participation is sufficient for driver eligibility. Thank you.
