I am amazed that Stanford is taking this idea and running with it. Khan Academy established the need and feasibility of the parallel education system. It is much better than the other types of open course ware. I am beginning to think there are going to be a lot more. And I am desperately wishing for some electrical engineering classes.
Wow, does anyone know what is the system here? Has stanford just said to their faculty that this is something they can do in their spare time but stanford will not actively support it? Or is there some other arrangement going on?
Also why are they not shifting away from CS classes (except for entrepreneurship). Things like signal processing and basic controllers can be taught with such a class. I would specially love the signal processing class since there are 3 classes (don't exactly remember the name) which are considered holy perfecta of signal processing.
