This is really cool. I have had good feedback from people taking the Machine Learning course this semester. Yes Beej, totally free, you even get a statement of accomplishment from the professor if you pass the course (you will have homework, exams and assignments). Expect a good amount of work load, it is an actual course after all.

I am very interested in the Software Engineering for Software as a Service course. One question though: are the courses live streamed online or do we have the option to watch the lecture at a later time?

As Samer said, it's an actual course so you have assignments and exams.

They will email you with the required information before the start date.

Lovely :)

I am going for a Master's degree in MIS this year. Do you think I could commit to the course along with the Master's courses and my full-time job? In other words, does the course require too much time commitment?

Re: Free Stanford online classes starting January 2012

Okay then another question, is it just related to computers? I mean i am a biochemistry student and i would love to study more on specific courses.

Also i am a noob when it comes to programing and language, will i learn the basics and move up? Or they start already advance programing?

Subscribed to Cryptography and Information Theory, thank you m0ei for the share, by the way if anyone is interested and i think most of you are aware of this check out the MIT open courseware website, they have detailed course materials like presentations, homeworks and videos for almost 2000 courses in all fields of study.

It seems they added new courses related to Medicine, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineeringand Complex Systems. Also Computer Security course to the CSC field.

I'm not sure when they added the new courses, but i noticed couple of days ago.
