  • Welcome to the brave new world of Massive Open Online Courses — known as MOOCs — a tool for democratizing higher education.
  • Consider Stanford’s experience: Last fall, 160,000 students in 190 countries enrolled in an Artificial Intelligence course taught by Mr. Thrun and Peter Norvig, a Google colleague. An additional 200 registered for the course on campus, but a few weeks into the semester, attendance at Stanford dwindled to about 30, as those who had the option of seeing their professors in person decided they preferred the online videos, with their simple views of a hand holding a pen, working through the problems.
  • And in what some see as a threat to traditional institutions, several of these courses now come with an informal credential (though that, in most cases, will not be free).

    "Massive Open Online Courses are free, non-degree programs that have been drawing top professors and are seen as a tool for democratizing higher education." - Tamar Lewin
