Melissia Anson's blog ::Free online CompSci 101 course from Stanford starts in February 2012










               If               you               haven't               checked               out               Stanford               University's               free               online               courses,               do               so.

This               offering               is               another               example               of               a               growing               movement               in               education:               the               effort               to               make               learning               more               accessible               to               people               around               the               globe.
               For               example,               you               might               be               surprised               to               learn               that               Stanford               courses,               such               as               Machine               Learning,               Introduction               to               Artificial               intellegience,               and               Introduction               to               Databases,               were               offered               free               of               charge               in               an               online               format.
               Free               seminars,               webinars               and               courses               also               are               announced               on               the               website               of               the               school's               Center               for               Professional               Development               .

Free               courses               also               are               announced               here               on               this               Stanford               website.
               If               you're               considering               such               courses,               make               no               mistake               about               it:               These               free               online               offerings               do               not               carry               college               credit,               but               the               content               is               valuable.
               And,               Stanford               is               not               alone               in               this               effort.

Other               entities               such               as               California-based               Khan               Academy,               for               example,               offer               free               online               tutorials               on               topics               such               as               biology,               chemistry,               and               physics.

Other               institutions               of               higher               education,               such               as               MIT,               offer               free               online               classes.
               Steve               Henn               of               National               Pubic               Radio               takes               you               right               onto               Stanford's               campus               in               a               January               23               NPR               story               about               this               issue.

Professors,               such               as               computer               expert               Daphne               Koller,               offered               their               assessment.

"On               the               long-term,               I               think               the               potential               for               this               to               revolutionize               education               is               just               tremendous,"               said               Koller,               who               is               also               a               MacArthur               Genius               Fellow.
               The               context               and               background               of               this               move               to               offer               free               online               schooling               was               explained               in               Henn's               excellent               five               minute               NPR               story               .

No               doubt               that               technological               advances               have               enabled               this               movement.

In               the               NPR               story,               for               example,               Koller               predicts               that               one               day               computer-based               technology               will               allow               instructors               to               teach               a               class               of               100,000               students               as               inexpensively               as               a               class               of               100               students.

In               that               NPR               report,               Koller               described               what               happened               in               South               Africa               as               prospective               students               clamored               for               classes               there.
               "In               the               University               of               Johannesburg,               a               few               weeks               ago,               they               had               a               very               small               number               of               places               that               were               still               open,"               Koller               said.

"And               so,               there               were               thousands               of               people               parked               outside               the               gates,               sitting               there               for               the               gates               to               open,               so               they               could               be               first               in               line               to               register               for               that               limited               number               of               slots.

And               when               the               gates               opened               there               was               a               stampede."
               By               throwing               open               the               doors               to               education               "we               hope               to               give               more               learning,               job               and               advancement               opportunities               to               anyone               who               wants               them,"               said               Jennifer               Widom,               chair               of               the               Computer               Science               Department               at               Stanford,               in               a               statement               issued               by               Stanford.
               (This               article               also               appears               in               a               blog               that               the               author               writes:               E-Learning               (A               Digital               Education               Forum.)
