Several Stanford faculty members are working together to improve online education at the university by developing new software and testing it in the classroom. The collaboration unites three experimental online education efforts: ClassX, a video processing platform that facilitates lecture recording; CourseWare, an online course hosting site with social networking features; and Open Classroom, a web platform designed to share Stanford lectures freely with the world. “The researchers are combining the three programs into one. The unified system should be available to the Stanford community by the fall quarter, said computer science associate professor Andrew Ng, creator of Open Classroom. The software will eventually be available to other universities as well,” he said.
