As part of a dramatic effort to expand its IT offerings to a global audience, Stanford University will be offering three popular 101-level courses free online as part of a global virtual classroom.
The offerings include "Introduction to Artificial Intelligence," "Introduction to Databases" and "Introduction to Machine Learning," all to be delivered between October and December. Study groups have been formed at reddit.
The AI course is generating quite a bit of excitement, since more than 130,000 people have already signed on to receive more information. Assuming that a majority proceed to formally register, there's potential for the course to be delivered to a virtual classroom of 100,000 students.
