    Tenured Prof Departs Stanford U., Hoping to Teach 500,000 Students at Online Startup

    This was an interesting article from several standpoints:

    1. Two tenured profs (One from Stanford, one from UVA) have gotten the online bug, and hope to enroll 500K students in an online programming course.

    See Tenured Professor Departs Stanford U., Hoping to Teach 500,000 Students at Online Start-Up - Wired Campus - The Chronicle of Higher Education

    2. They are looking for faculty and TAs. Good opportunity to get online creds.

    I would work for this school for FREE if they are not charging students.

    The Chronicle says "low cost," but I looked through the TOS and I do not see any associated costs.
