Stanford 2.0: Online courses draw top profs - Laura Carwile, Daily Stanford
You can do almost anything today over the Internet. You can buy your groceries, pay your mortgage, and even find your soulmate. But who knew you get a Stanford education as well? The Alliance for Lifelong Learning, or AllLearn, started out in 2000 as a non-profit effort by four institutions — Stanford, Yale, Princeton, and Oxford — to offer non-credit online courses to their alumni. In the past four years, more than 10,000 people have taken AllLearn classes, but the service has also changed in many ways. For example, enrollment in AllLearn courses is no longer restricted to alumni at the member schools but is open to anyone who is willing to pay tuition. Also, in 2001 Princeton dropped out of the partnership, and the service is currently searching for other academic institutions to become affiliates, according to its Web site.
