daphne koller<\/strong> will present her ground-breaking work in free, universally accessible college education as the first guest speaker in the 2012 -2013 john r. and donna s. hall engineering lecture series.<\/p>\n

the lecture \u2013 the online revolution: education for everyone \u2013 is tuesday, oct. 2<\/strong> at 4:10 p.m.<\/strong> in vanderbilt\u2019s wilson hall, room 103<\/strong>. the lecture is open to the vanderbilt community. a reception will follow.<\/p>\n

live video of this event will be streamed on vanderbilt news and will be available for viewing after oct. 2.<\/p>\n

koller is the rajeev motwani professor in computer science at stanford university and co-founder of the social entrepreneurship company coursera<\/a>. last year approximately 350,000 students enrolled in three free courses offered by stanford, creating one of the largest experiments in online education ever performed.<\/p>\n

\u201ci\u2019ll report on this far-reaching experiment in education, and why we believe this model can provide both an improved classroom experience for our on-campus students, via a flipped classroom model, as well as a meaningful learning experience for the millions of students around the world who would otherwise never have access to education of this quality,\u201d koller said.<\/p>\n

\u201cthrough such technology, we envision millions of people gaining access to the world-leading education that has so far been available only to a tiny few, and using this education to improve their lives, the lives of their families, and the communities they live in.\u201d<\/p>\n

koller will review the teaching methodologies used in the free coursework, including easy-to-create video chunks, a scalable online q&a forum where students can get their questions answered quickly, sophisticated auto-graded homework, and a peer grading pipeline that supports the at-scale grading of open-ended assignments. read the entire post from the vanderbilt school of engineering news blog.<\/a><\/p>\n
