190国16万人报读 网上免费史丹福课程

(旧金山13日综合电)谷歌研究实验室主管特龙去年试验推出美国史丹福大学网上免费课程,一年间共有16万人报读,约2.3万人考试及格。

他期望此计划可让名牌大学平民化,跟随名教授读书,不再是天才尖子或富二代专利。特龙本在史丹福任教的电脑科学学士课程,一年学费要5.34万美元(约16.4万令吉)。

去年他将人工智能课放上网,结果这免费课程影响无远弗届,16万学生遍及全球190个国家,包括战区美军。成绩最好的410位学生,全部并非来自史丹福。

“可能我在史丹福也不能接触最好的学生。”
特龙辞史丹福教职,成立网上教育机构Udacity,学生只需付1美元(约3令吉),就可修读史丹福收取约3000美元(约9217令吉)的课程。

著名学者教授
另一方面,哈佛大学和马萨诸塞州理工学院最近也耗资6000万美元(约1.8亿令吉),为网上教学公司Coursera制作免费网上课程,当中很多课程都由著名学者教授。
史丹福大学、密歇根大学等院校都是Coursera的合作伙伴。Coursera学生虽不会获大学学分,但会获证书证明。

去年一名修读电脑科学的学生原来是日本福岛核电厂工程师,更将从课程学到的新知识应用在处理海啸危机上,这些课程料逐渐获雇主认可。
