Education startups are all the rage right now—another day, another funding round for entrepreneurs hungry to disrupt education. Many of these online learning startups—Coursera, Udacity, Udemy, Codecademy, Treehouse, Course Hero—get lumped together when we talk about how technology is transforming education as we know it.
Educational technology is hot (finally!). Thanks to edX and Udacity and Khan Academy and Coursera and the Stanford AI course our world is getting lots of attention.

5 Misconceptions of Blended & Online Learning
By: Teach on the Edge
I spend most of my time teaching online to students in a brick-and-mortar school, so I also spend a great deal of time clarifying what it is and isn’t (or at least, what it can be and shouldn’t be).
It's news that shouldn't surprise anyone that read the fine print on the registration for Stanford's Artificial Intelligence class offered last fall: Professor Stanford Thrun has announced he is resigning from the university to launch an online learning startup.
