Stanford's Free Online Class with Over 130,000 Students is Now in Session!
Stanford's free online class with over 130,000 students is now in session! Three online classes were offered worldwide free of charge, Introduction to: Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Databases. The post found here: http://cis471.blogspot.com/2011/10/open-online-classes-starting-soon-at.html goes on to talk about a similar class Professor Larry Press's took and more about Stanford's efforts. I choose to blog about this post because I signed up for two courses in the midst of excitement when I was first told. My first thought was how incredible it would be to take part in this. My second thought was wondering if I can add this to my resume? This fits in our class outline because we are both part of the computer education system.

ASSIGNMENT- Describe a Blog Post: This assignment will familiarize you with our class blog, which is typical of blogs in general. Pick a post from our class blog that is at least six months old and interesting to you, and answer the following questions:
1. What is the title of the post you chose?The title of the post I chose from our class blog is, Proprietary research firms are an excellent source of information.
2. What is its permalink URL?
3. What tag(s) does it have?
Labels: market research, technology
4. Why did you choose it?
I choose this post because I am currently taking a course in Market Research and I am learning about the importance of research required for business. The post mentions companies such as The Yankee Group, Infonetics, and Forrester Research who study various industries and technologies. To my surprise, these firms make a profit by specializing in only doing research for other companies. I find it interesting what companies will do for the "right" information. There is so much information out there, it is important to have reputable firms serving the market researching purpose.
