Stanford professor resigns, launches Udacity: Free, online, university-level computer science courses

Looking to build your own search engine?  A new educational startup, UDacity, joins the growing trend of free online college level educational sites.

In a discussion of the report on Bits, a New York Times Technology blog, it was observed that, "The real promise of online education is providing learning experiences that are more tailored to individual students than is possible in classrooms. That enables more 'learning by doing,' which many students find more engaging and useful."

As prices of eductions continue to increase, will we be seeing more sites like this offering core classes such as math and science?
