But because MOOCs are so new, and so limited before yesterday's news, first-hand discussion of what it's like to teach one has been limited. The current MOOC moment began less than a year ago, when Stanford offered a free, chunked artificial intelligence course online, and 58,000 people signed up. One of the professors who taught that course, Sebastian Thrun, has since gone on to found his own MOOC company, Udacity. Thrun, then, seemed to like it -- but he works at Stanford, lapdog of Silicon Valley. Did anyone else?
