in Stanford, Technology | August 16th, 2011 3 Comments

This fall, pro­fes­sors from Stan­ford’s pres­ti­gious School of Engi­neer­ing will offer online three of its most pop­u­lar com­put­er sci­ence cours­es: Machine Learn­ing, Intro­duc­tion to Arti­fi­cial Intel­li­gence and Intro­duc­tion to Data­bas­es. (You can sign up by click­ing on these links.) The cours­es will fea­ture short, inter­ac­tive video clips that stu­dents can watch when­ev­er and wher­ev­er they want; short quizzes that pro­vide instant feed­back; and the abil­i­ty to rank ques­tions to be answered by Stan­ford instruc­tors. Accord­ing to the Stan­ford Report, “Already more than 58,000 peo­ple have expressed inter­est in the arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence course taught by Sebas­t­ian Thrun, a Stan­ford research pro­fes­sor of com­put­er sci­ence and a Google Fel­low, and Google Direc­tor of Research Peter Norvig.”

This isn’t the first time Stan­ford has offered free com­put­er sci­ence cours­es to the world. Back in 2008, Stan­ford Engi­neer­ing Every­where pre­sent­ed lec­tures from 10 com­plete online com­put­er sci­ence and elec­tri­cal engi­neer­ing cours­es. This includes the three-course “Intro­duc­tion to Com­put­er Sci­ence” sequence tak­en by the major­i­ty of Stan­ford under­grad­u­ates. These cours­es are all list­ed in the Com­put­er Sci­ence and Elec­tri­cal Engi­neer­ing sec­tions of our big col­lec­tion of Free Online Cours­es. H/T @eugenephoto

    I have also found cou­ple of weeks ago while I am com­plet­ing an assign­ment for my edu­ca­tion tech­nol­o­gy grad­u­ate class that MIT is offer­ing free lec­ture online as well. http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/
    MIT Open Course Ware (OCW) is a web-based pub­li­ca­tion of vir­tu­al­ly all MIT course con­tent. OCW is open and avail­able to the world and is a per­ma­nent MIT activ­i­ty. Stu­dents can use this aca­d­e­m­ic online plat­form to learn more about lin­guis­tics from the best well known school of lin­guis­tics in the world. Teach­ers can use this web­site as a main source for lecture’s build­ing and to give assign­ments for the stu­dents based on the mate­ri­als shared in this web­site.
