New Stanford class on

One thing I really like about this is that it's a great example of a university making it's expertise publicly available.

Universities are definitely entitled to their proprietary intellectual property, but things like class content is something that the public can really benefit from and the marginal cost of production is near zero. Much of this content is valuable, but let's face it, it's not worth the tuition Stanford and other schools charge (now maybe the compete college experience is worth it, but that's a different discussion).

Kudos to Stanford for setting the bar high, let's hope other schools follow (MIT, CMU, we're looking at you...)
