I enrolled in all three courses of Stanford which were a part of a new online initiative by them, and today when I saw the lectures and worked on the quizzes I realize how exciting the courses are. Firstly you can watch the lectures whenever you want and wherever you want + you can watch them again and again until you get the concept completely and lastly I like the concept of me choosing to take the course rather that it being thrust upon me which happens in almost all universities in India.
There are three courses which are being offered and I have opted to take all of them and they are pretty interesting!
- Introduction to Artificial Intelligence (http://www.ai-class.com)
- Introduction to Databases (http://www.db-class.org)
- Machine Learning (http://www.ml-class.org)
I hope I will have a good time and will learn a lot and I am happy that some initiatives are being taken towards Online Education. I myself took up a small initiative sometime during the start of this year. Here is the link http://www.unacademy.in
