I get easily excited about education-related topics so I may be over-reacting, but I think these classes will jump-start an educational revolution, and that people will start to fully appreciate just how inefficient traditional teaching methods are. Some people like to say that this is nothing new because video lectures were posted on the internet for several years now (for example MIT Open Courseware etc.), but I th…

Thanks for your work, the course looks very impressive. Probably the best introduction into the basics of ML I've seen.

By the way, will http://jan2012.ml-class.org/ be the same as the current ml-class? I mean is it the same course, or a more advanced one?

Anyone know if AI-Class will be running again in 2012? The links between the 2012 courses suggest not, but that could just be down to Ai-Class being different.

My guess is AI and DB class will be running again in the fall of 2012. They will probably follow the schedule Stanford has on these courses. Just a guess though

Will the materials for these courses (videos + ref material + assignments + solutions) be available for browsing after the course has ended?

For the ongoing courses it will be available, so I guess it will be the same for these also.The thing you miss out on taking them later is the structure of the class with deadlines (very good incentive to really sit down and learn!) and personal letter from the teachers

+1 also, what about the DB class ? will it be running again in 2012 ? I couldn't "attend" more than one at the same time (especially the advanced tracks) and I already joined the ML class.

Prof. Widom said that if she were to run the class again, it would be at the same time next year, because thats when she runs it at Stanford.

They say it will be the same class as current at ml-class Q&A - http://www.ml-class.org/course/qna/view?id=3925

Although I had to drop the previous classes due to time, this looks promising. Particularly with the unified style; that is the one thing that seemed to hurt this years effort - The most widely advertised course (AI) had the worst layout and 'features'.

What kind of time commitment does it require?

I think I've spent about 5 hours per week on the db class. I'm not getting full marks by any means, but I'm learning a lot.
