Advancing digital technology is bringing major changes to higher education, after upending journalism, the music business, manufacturing and many other industries.

The pace of change in higher education is getting faster, and will affect teaching, student evaluation, and access to knowledge.

It is a class at Stanford University in California taught by Sebastian Thrun.
