Last Fall, a pair of well-respected computer scientists at Stanford<br>
offered their AI class for free to people everywhere via the Internet.<br>
Over 160,000 students signed up, spurring a worldwide conversation on<br>
the impact of online teaching on higher education and sending<br>
universities throughout the US scrambling to announce initiatives in<br>
this space.  I had the good fortune to teach a class for one of the<br>
startups and will share my experiences.<br>
<br>
Michael L. Littman is a professor of computer scientist at Brown<br>
University. He works mainly in reinforcement learning, but has done<br>
work in machine learning, game theory, computer networking, partially<br>
observable Markov decision process solving, computer solving of<br>
analogy problems and other areas.  He has held faculty positions in<br>
the computer science departments at Duke University and Rutgers<br>
University, where he chaired the department from 2009 to 2012.<br>
