“The Course Builder open source project is an experimental early step for us in the world of online education. It is a snapshot of an approach we found useful and an indication of our future direction. We hope to continue development along these lines, but we wanted to make this limited code base available now, to see what early adopters will do with it, and to explore the future of learning technology,” wrote Google director of research Peter Norvig in an official blog post. Google says that Stanford University, UC – San Diego, and Indiana University are all looking to utilize the Course Builder framework in the design of their online offerings, as are overseas institutions like Spain’s Universia and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne.
