Spoiler: show
I'm writing to you because you've registered for online courses from Stanford in the past. I wanted to introduce you to two new ones.
Like the courses you've seen before, these free courses are taught by Stanford faculty, and include videos with embedded quizzes, standalone problem sets, and discussion forums. These two new courses are available on the new Stanford-built open source platform Class2Go.
Explore the Internet in Introduction to Computer Networks
Introduction to Computer Networks will explain how the Internet works, ranging from how bits are modulated on wires and over the air to understanding application protocols like BitTorrent and HTTP. You will examine many concepts in current practice and recent developments, such as net neutrality and DNS security. Join Stanford professors Nick McKeown (co-founder of Nicira Networks and winner of ACM Sigcomm "Lifetime Achievement" Award) and Philip Levis (inventor of tinyOS and co-founder of Kumu networks) in exploring the Internet in Introduction to Computer Networks.
Begins October 8, 2012. Register at http://networking.class.stanford.edu/
Be part of the solutions to global energy demands in Solar Cells, Fuel Cells, and Batteries
Solar Cells, Fuel Cells, and Batteries will focus on the operating principles and applications of emerging technological solutions to the energy demands of the world. The course will begin with a discussion of the scale of global energy usage and requirements for possible solutions. You will then explore the physics and chemistry of solar cells, fuel cells, and batteries and the promise of materials research to offer next-generation solutions. Join Stanford professor Bruce Clemens (President of the Materials Research Society) in exploring solutions to global energy needs in Solar Cells, Fuel Cells, and Batteries.

What's different about Stanford courses on Class2Go?
Class2Go's videos are easily skimmable and reviewable using our custom-generated thumbnail image index. Class2Go also uses Piazza discussion forums to help you connect to your instructors and colleagues across the world. Learn more about Class2Go (and why we like it so much) at http://class2go.stanford.edu/

Hope to see you online!
