For the first time in history courses that were limited to a few number of people are now open to the entire world. This trend was kickstarted on October 10th, 2011 when three free online courses from Stanford University professors went live. In two years we have gone from no courses to over 900 total announced courses from more than 150 universities. Startups from around the world are gearing up to offer MOOCS and have attracted over $150 million in funding.
