I've made a google group for the Machine Learning class. Only a gmail account is required to sign up.

+1 for the google group; I joined it. I don't have a g+ account and probably never will; I'm neither a fan of stalking nor of social networking, and it seems like g+ is both.
Stanford has decided to offer a few classes online, for free. These include Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. The classes include videos of the same lectures that the Stanford students received, quizzes, homework, and exams that are graded automatically. They start on October 10.
I'm guessing that more than a few LWers will sign up for these. How many people would like to form a study group? Should we just have a discussion thread for it, or is there a better option?
