Announcing NovoEd

We are excited for the rest of the world to get a look at what NovoEd is doing with today’s announcement http://bit.ly/ZtlAtX . Founder Professor Amin Saberi began what became NovoEd because he wanted to create a collaborative and experiential learning experience for his class in the Management Science and Engineering Dept. of Stanford. It was rolled out as Stanford’s Venture Lab and it has now served hundreds of thousands of students on courses like Creativity, Technology Entrepreneurship, Sustainable Design and Product Management.

NovoEd’s philosophy is to advance the online learning experience by making online courses more experiential, interactive, and collaborative. Its platform provides a connected, effective and engaging learning environment for students using a combination of techniques in crowd sourcing, design and analysis of reputation systems, and algorithm design. Students not only have access to lectures by thought leaders and professors from top universities, but they are also able to form teams with people around the world and work on class projects.

NovoEd offers courses and programs by thought leaders in a wide range of fields and in partnership with universities. By fostering online collaboration, team work and project-based learning, it nurtures problem solving, collaboration, and leadership while addressing specific topics and business opportunities.

We are thrilled to partner with Amin and NovoEd help them build the platform for delivering learning opportunities at a massive scale.
