The Largest On-line Class Ever
June 18, 2012
Sebastian Thrun from Udacity probably read my last post on Massive Open Online Courses. At least that could be the motivation behind his latest idea: He aims to teach the largest on-line class ever. I don’t know where the current record stands, but this one will be large for sure. The Intro to Statistics course will start on June 25, 2012 and promises to be an interesting endeavour.
Meanwhile, I have completed the Web Application Engineering course “with highest distinction”, including all homework and final. I loved it! I learnt how to use Google App Engine and Python and created a wiki system with login, editing and history functionality. The instant feedback to submissions makes it easy to see your progress.
So, if you always wanted to learn about stats, this is your opportunity. See you there!

I’m sitting the “Intro to Computer Science” (cs101) course and have now enrolled into Statistics. The courses are actually very good, easy to follow and fun.
