Thought some of you might be interested in these after the response from the last thread Cardine made. Going to be doing some myself; the current ones are pretty good and a fun way to kill some time.

Thank you very much!

Lean Launchpad prof makes a good impression with his video. The other dude with the second entrepreneurship course, not so much.

Human-Computer Interaction looks right down my alley. Scott Klemmer sounds like he has some good practical knowledge to share.

Shit, it’s temping to sign up for all of these. I wonder how much course material each has.
 
Awesome! Thanks for the post czech. I saw the other post about the fall ones and was disappointed I missed it. I definitely am gonna enroll in a few of these. I wanna do them all but I'm taking my college courses too, damn. I guess I'll have to narrow it down to a couple.

SaaS, Lean Launchpad, and Game Theory definitely look interesting.

can anyone tell me how signing up to these work? You don't have to be enrolled in Stanford to take them?

Just enter your name/email on the site and they'll tell you when the course is starting and how to signup.

No need to be enrolled at Stanford, it's open to everyone, and it's free.

So are these free? How many classes per week? Do you just watch lectures online?

At least for machine learning they split it up into ~10 different ~7 minute lectures each week that you can view online. Then they'll probably have some sort of quiz and/or assignment you do and submit online.



Taking the Machine Learning class right now, and it's actually a really good class (lot's of great info and very practical).
 
Thanks for the share just signed for couple of these. How can u beat taking a free ivy league courses? What cAnt u do on this fancy internets
 
Anyone doing the entrepreneurship one? I missed the deadline to sign up so waiting for the second round.
 
Yes, I am currently enrolled and in a team right now. First project is underway. The amount of people enrolled is nuts - I have like 5 other team members who are less than 5 miles from me, LOL.
 
There are a bunch more now if you look around. Apparently there was a split between the professors at one of the universities. Quite interesting indeed.
 
If you've already done the Machine Learning one, check out the Probabilistic Graphical Models- they're very much interrelated.

I thought the ML class was great as a taster into the field, my only real gripe was that there wasn't much in the way of theory or any real depth because it assumed basically no programming or mathematical experience- so it often seemed like dealing with toy examples.

PGM and some others however assume higher level experience, so I think there's a bit more weight to the material.
