At the end of the course, the students got a certificate.

They could present that certificate to a prospective employer and get a better job, and we know many students who did.

Some students took their certificate and presented this to an educational institution at which they were enrolled for actual college credit.

So these students were really getting something meaningful for their investment of time and effort.

Students can traverse this material in different ways, depending on their background, their skills or their interests.

So, for example, some students might benefit from a little bit of preparatory material that other students might already have.

Other students might be interested in a particular enrichment topic that they want to pursue individually.

So this format allows us to break away from the one-size-fits-all model of education, and allows students to follow a much more personalized curriculum.

Of course, we all know as educators that students don't learn by sitting and passively watching videos.

Perhaps one of the biggest components of this effort is that we need to have students who practice with the material in order to really understand it.

This one that appeared in Science last year, for example, demonstrates that even simple retrieval practice, where students are just supposed to repeat what they already learned gives considerably improved results on various achievement tests down the line than many other educational interventions.

Every few minutes, the video pauses and the students get asked a question.

This is a kind of simple question that I as an instructor might ask in class, but when I ask that kind of a question in class, 80 percent of the students are still scribbling the last thing I said, 15 percent are zoned out on Facebook, and then there's the smarty pants in the front row who blurts out the answer before anyone else has had a chance to think about it, and I as the instructor am terribly gratified that somebody actually knew the answer.

And so the lecture moves on before, really, most of the students have even noticed that a question had been asked.

One needs to build in much more meaningful practice questions, and one also needs to provide the students with feedback on those questions.

Now, how do you grade the work of 100,000 students if you do not have 10,000 TAs?

This is from Stanford's Computer Science 101 class, and the students are supposed to color-correct that blurry red image.

And so this is an effective strategy that can be used for grading at scale, and is also a useful learning strategy for the students, because they actually learn from the experience.

So we now have the largest peer-grading pipeline ever devised, where tens of thousands of students are grading each other's work, and quite successfully, I have to say.

But this is not just about students sitting alone in their living room working through problems.

Around each one of our courses, a community of students had formed, a global community of people around a shared intellectual endeavor.

What you see here is a self-generated map from students in our Princeton Sociology 101 course, where they have put themselves on a world map, and you can really see the global reach of this kind of effort.

Students collaborated in these courses in a variety of different ways.

First of all, there was a question and answer forum, where students would pose questions, and other students would answer those questions.

And the really amazing thing is, because there were so many students, it means that even if a student posed a question at 3 o'clock in the morning, somewhere around the world, there would be somebody who was awake and working on the same problem.

Which is not a level of service I have ever offered to my Stanford students.

And you can see from the student testimonials that students actually find that because of this large online community, they got to interact with each other in many ways that were deeper than they did in the context of the physical classroom.

Students also self-assembled, without any kind of intervention from us, into small study groups.

You can collect every click, every homework submission, every forum post from tens of thousands of students.

And in the context of particular courses, you can ask questions like, what are some of the misconceptions that are more common and how do we help students fix them?
