And it's not just Stanford:

* 123 coursera courses from some of the best universities in the world in the next year: https://www.coursera.org/courses

* 14 Udacity classes: http://www.udacity.com/

* 6 edX courses from Harvard, MIT and Berkeley: https://www.edx.org/

Education is changing. About time.

Yes, you're actually right. I'll try to come up with a new description.

A wall with posters. Well, a virtual wall with posters.

Just watch it. Do it for me. Truly innovative stuff.

Therefore, books and literature aren't art, since they express ideas, notions and feelings with nothing but words. Wait, what?

It seems that users have to submit rebuttals to articles they read, I thought that was done by the system using NLP techniques, specifically Sentiment Analysis. Now that would be really cool.

I really like this, simple and to the point. Sadly I am not in the US to try it.

I assume they can order and deliver more than one coffee at the same time. By using bags, delivery boxes or something.

Facebook ads DO work! Use facebook advertising, then start flooding the internet with "meh, facebook ads did not work for my company" articles and, BOOM, there comes the traffic.

A very interesting read.

Relevant: I once built a very simple text adventure engine in C, in a few hours for a /r/dailyprogrammer challenge: https://github.com/tech-no-crat/Cadventure-txt

I would add coursera and udacity.

The "Keep me posted" button shouldn't be red! It looks dangerous, no way I'm clicking that.

This is very cool. The competition is heating up: Coursera, Udacity, edX. That can only be good for us consumers. Can't wait to see where this will lead us.

This whole online education trend was started by Stanford 9 months ago. Then, the professors who started two of the first three online classes created 2 separate startups (coursera and udacity). MITx was 6 months late to the game.
