Stanford To Offer Free CS and Robotics Courses

DeviceGuru writes "Stanford University will soon begin offering a series of 10 free, online computer science and electrical engineering courses. 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 (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 license."

    Yea. How many average people could boast that their administration was able to take the most powerful country in the world in good financial position and reduce it to the current state of the US in just 8 years.

    I certainly couldn't have done that.
