My last post was dedicated to Stanford University and its initiative of offering a free online version of the course “Introduction to AI”. Well, now we have good news: “Machine learning” and “Introduction to databases” are going to share this experiment, so next Autumn there will be three free online course to choose from!

Free Stanford course: “Introduction to Artificial Intelligence”

Posted by Alberto - 07/08/11 at 05:08:43 pm

I have read in Barrapunto (the Spanish version of Slashdot) about an interesting experiencie at Stanford University. Professors Sebastian Thrun and Peter Norvig (co-autor of “Artificial Intelligence, a modern approach”, the “bible” that everyone studying IA has read) are offering a free online version of their course “Introduction to AI”.

This University have published different courses in iTunesU or Youtube (I talked about one of them before, “Machine Learning”). But in this case, they are going one step beyond: all online students will be evaluated, they will have to do the same exercices and exams than Stanford students. And if they pass the course, they will obtain a certificate. And this is for free.

I have signed up to receive more information about this course, it can be an interesting experience.
