At the end of last year I took part in the online version of the Introduction to Artificial Intelligence course presented by Sebastian Thrun and Peter Norvig from Stanford University. I participated partly out of interest, and partly to see how the course was presented. In the end it was a great experience, learning from two experts in the field who are passionate about what they are teaching was well worth the time spent. The format was simple; weekly video lectures split into roughly 10 minute segments. A great inclusion were the small quizzes during the talks, which helped test your understanding of what had just been shown or challenged you to think about a topic which was coming up. The weekly on-line assignments and two exams really added to the overall enjoyment and satisfaction of knowing how well you understood the content.
There are several interesting on-line courses now on offer starting from around February 2012. I've listed a few of them below.
I'll follow up with a few more on-line courses in the next post.
