Each class has been announced individually, thought I'd give the full list.

Thanks for this. Do you know why the courses aren't all hosted on Standford.edu, though?

HN readers may enjoy EE380, the Stanford EE Computer Systems Colloquium. It is listed in this article, but is easily overlooked.

The Colloquium meets w4:15-5:30 throughout the academic year and moves re-runs during summer quarter. Lectures can be seen live, viewed in real-time over the web, viewed on-demand over the web, and eventually find their way onto YouTube, iTunes, and elsewhere. http://ee380.stanford.edu.

Thanks. I've known about the iPhone application programming course from previous semesters, so this looks promising that they may offer it again this fall. I didn't have a mac until recently, so it will be nice if they do since xcode has changed a lot from what the courses available to download now use.

2. How is SEE being funded? SEE’s pilot program was funded by Sequoia Capital, the Silicon Valley venture capital firm that helped launch Cisco, Google, Yahoo, NVidia and many other successful technology startups.

They deserve a shoutout.

Just to clarify: These aren't the same thing as the ai-class (http://www.ai-class.com) that has gotten all the buzz. This program has been around for a while and only(1) offers downloadable materials (videos of lectures + pdfs of assignments/handouts etc.)

(1) "only" seems a terrible way of putting it. The materials/lecturers are amazing even if you never have your assignments graded.

These materials have actually been released in late 2008 - the three new courses will follow a completely different arrangement.

As universities offer more and more curriculum online, would you hire someone who had self taught himself through a CS degree? Or would you want to see the diploma?
