On Habré about Udacity already wrote: 1 , 2 , 3

Explanation for those who do not know what it is. Udacity University was founded after a successful online course project organized by Stanford University. After these courses, which were successfully completed by several thousand people, Sebastian Tran was no longer able to return to regular teaching and train 100 people in the auditorium of Stanford University, when it is possible to conduct a course for tens of thousands around the world.

The university opened on February 20, 2012 with two seven-week courses:
CS101: Building a Search Engine
CS373: Programming a Robotic Car
')
On April 16, another 4 courses were launched:
CS212: Design of Computer Programs
CS253: Web Application Engineering
CS262: Programming Languages
CS387: Applied Cryptography

This week is the final exam. And today there should be news about the launch of 5 new courses:
CS215: Algorithms
CS221: Logic & Discrete Mathematics
CS258: Software Testing
PH100: Landmarks in Physics
ST101: Introduction to Statistics

Under the cut their description

Ps All courses, of course, are conducted in English, which somewhat limits the possible audience knowledge of the language.

Almost every video has subtitles, and you can translate them into Russian. What will it give? I think that maybe you have acquaintances or friends who would like to complete the course, but cannot because of not knowing English. Anyway, this will make the project “anyone can get a higher education” one step closer to the goal.

Translation is done on www.universalsubtitles.org. There is a shared google-docs table for coordinating translations. If someone is interested, then I will throw off the link to the table. All translated subtitles will be added officially to the video on youtube. The Chinese are now warning in advance and translated CS101. I myself began, but because of the diploma I had to postpone.

Pps I apologize in advance for the jambs in the translation, the text contained many scientific terms in the subject areas, maybe something translated is not entirely accurate.
