Also you said Harvardx in your post, and that's another issue. Some feel that you can't say you took a course at that school, or that the certificate was from that school. It was actually from "Edx" or "Harvardx" Sad But others feel you can say it was a course by that school or from that school.

So what is the proper way to list on a resume?   I have it as Harvard(x) and I've listed in the additional accomplishments portion of my resume.  Do you think it's ok just to say Harvard?   Since I'm not really featuring it, I'm not worried, but just want to do what makes most sense..

I'm not sure. Personally, I don't think there's a standard way. In searching, I found some saying do not list it with Education, but one said do that. I wouldn't put it with college credit personally. 

On EdX, they had an article and their examples included EdX's name and said "MOOC". But of course EdX would want their own name included. 

Then they also included the school name and not with the "X". I think it's more honest to put the provider name in addition to the school name, but then it's more cluttered and confusing, and doesn't look as good.

I don't know if that's the case. I've seen "certificate of achievement" for undergrad certs that were a little more involved than the ones that were "certificate of completion". I believe I've seen at least one or two other types, but I can't think of them.

I do not think there is any real standard for a diploma or certificate other than they are printed on paper?  

Kind of like combat tours.  To Portuguese Commandoes that means 30-days.  To one National Guard Infantry Brigade in the surge in Iraq, it meant 24 months.

Yeah, probably not, and I don't like the confusion about certificates.

Apparently other countries have a real system, like Australia has something like a Certificate I, II, III, IV which gives an indication of how much work went into it.

I think I might put EdX or Coursera on my resume, otherwise it looks crazy to have too many school names and course names. The recruiter is bound to know that these are just MOOCs.
