It bothers me a little bit that all these classes have their own domain names, all of which border on spammy-sounding (e.g. generic-prescription-drugs.com).

I wonder why they aren't all under the same domain? All the classes I've seen so far seem to be the same underlying app.

Maybe they're just doing it that way so people can farm HN karma.

Yeah, Stanford thrives on HN Karma you know.

I think its because they just want to decentralize the system.

hardly the same app. I'm in both the AI and machine learning classes and while one has a full infra-structure for programming assignments and some other video-playback that I haven't seen anywhere else, the other one uses youtube videos with quizzes only at the end of the videos.

The AI class seems to be the exception. The AI class has a .com extension, while all the others have .org extensions. The AI class website runs on KnowLabs software, while all the others run on software developed by some Stanford students last summer.
