Finally! This class was supposed to start in January 2012, hopefully all the technical kinks are worked out. Does anyone know what the issue was? I believe all the Stanford online learning classes were affected.
I believe the issues were administrative and legal rather than technical. My impression was that once the Stanford administrative bureaucracy got wind of what was happening with these courses, what started as a fun and entrepreneurial "let's change education" turned into much paper work and long meetings. I've found this is the typical academic response to anything truly innovative ;) (I also think this is partly why Thrun walked away from his tenure, to simply be able to work on changing the world without having to worry about all of the rest of it)
