“Stanford To Offer Free CS and Robotics Courses” from Slashdot<\/a> yesterday:<\/p>\n

Stanford University will soon begin offering a series of 10 free, online computer science and electrical engineering courses<\/a>. Initial courses will provide an introduction to computer science and an introduction to field of robotics, among other topics. The courses, offered under the auspices of Stanford Engineering Everywhere<\/a> (SEE), are nearly identical to standard courses offered to registered Stanford students and will comprise downloadable video lectures, handouts, assignments, exams, and transcripts. And get this: all the courses’ materials are being released under the Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 Unported<\/a> license.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This makes Stanford<\/a> the third (that I know of) major US University to hand out some form of course ware for free. The other two are MIT<\/a> and UC Berkeley<\/a>.<\/p>\n

MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) offers what it calls MIT Open Courseware<\/a> and their front page sums it up: “Unlocking Knowledge, Empowering Minds. Free lecture notes, exams, and videos from MIT. No registration required.” The most popular courses<\/a> offered appear to be physics and math related with some engineering and economics thrown in. The site and content is (similarly to Stanford’s) stamped with a Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States<\/a> license.<\/p>\n

UC Berkeley (University of California at Berkeley) has a YouTube channel<\/a> that includes recorded lectures of a number of their Courses<\/a>. From Bio Engineering to Political Science, Physics to Law, there is a little bit of everything there. I have watched a number of these courses and I think the selection is great, hopefully it will continue to grow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
