Experiences from the AI-class
• 23,000 students passed the online course (253 got perfect scores)
• Professor Thrun has taught more students the subject than all of the rest of the computer science professors in the world.
• The 23,000 who passed the course represent more students than most faculty will teach in their career.
• Out of the 200 Stanford students attending the traditional course, only 41 were in class at the end of the course.
• The other 159 opted for the online asynchronous presentation.
• 410 online students outperformed the top Stanford student!
• Students themselves translated the class for free from English into 44 languages.
• The on-campus passing rate was the highest ever. CC-BY-NC-SA Zaid Ali Alsagoff: http://www.slideshare.net/zaid/dna-of-a-21st-century-educator-v2
