This looks interesting and may connect with the recent free university
courses at Stanford

.. some of which used Google tech for the presentations and quizes &
homework.  Udacity is also, I think, Google based.

That would be sorta nifty: TED for inspiration, and short courses to really
expand on the inspiration.

BTW: Some of the next Stanford classes are short .. 5 weeks for the
algorithms class for example.  This fits into Dave West's new curriculum
ideas of quick, intensive classes with projects.
