Its a bit hard to believe how much progress Coursera is making:
https://www.coursera.org/
.. they now have Princeton, Stanford, U of Mich, and U of Penn signed up as
partners!
For folks who found their initial offerings too heavily on science and
tech, they now have far more offerings in the humanities, social sciences,
economics, finance, business, healthcare, medicine and biology. Check out:

And for us compsci folks, Jeffrey Ullman is teaching Automata! Yes, THAT
Jeffrey Ullman!
https://www.coursera.org/course/automata
For those of us who recently were discussing textbooks and education, Aho
and Ullman have made their out of print book available on line:

Another surprise for me has been meeting old friends on the forums! Three
of us from Sun Micro took the Algorithms I class.
