Overview of Online Learning at Stanford - Stanford University

Stanford University is aggressively exploring the varied ways in which online technology has the potential to enhance educational access and quality. Stanford faculty are experimenting with online coursework for both on-campus and off-campus students. Groups of faculty and students are researching the questions around what a digital environment means for teaching and learning. Technology teams are developing and sharing new platforms for delivering online courses. Massive open online courses (MOOCs) have captured wide public attention in recent months. But Stanford’s work in the online space is much broader. How can we help students learn more effectively, using the tools that technology offers?How can we employ technology in different ways to meet the needs of different kinds of students? Experimentation is crucial to answering these questions, and Stanford faculty are experimenting actively. http://online.stanford.edu/sites/default/files/null/online-learning-factsheet.pdf
