达芙妮·科勒（Daphne Koller）从在加州斯坦福大学（Stanford University）教授人工智能课程，走向让全球在线学习模式大改观。

如今她希望帮助指导新一代的创业者。

科勒是在线教育公司 Coursera的联合创始人，公司的宗旨是让全球所有人都有机会学习世界一流的大学课程。从美国普林斯顿（Princeton）和耶鲁（Yale）大学、到新加坡南洋理工大学（Nanyang Technological University）、到澳大利亚墨尔本大学（University of Melbourne），Coursera与26个国家的大约145所大学合作，免费在网上提供近2000门大学专业课。

在普及一流教育和创业技巧的过程中，科勒承担制定教学大纲，向学生教授创业的基本知识。她告诉那些准备迎接事业挑战的年轻人不要羞于提出问题或请求帮助。以下是她的一些忠告。

科勒是因偶然的机会而成为实业家。她于1993年获得斯坦福大学计算机科学专业博士学位，但对传统的教育模式不甚满意。

于是，她与两位科学专业的同事一起，决定尝试不同做法：他们将自己教的计算机科学专业课放到网上。鉴于这些课程大受欢迎，科勒随后开发了将更多课堂放到网上的技术。2012年，她与吴恩达（Andrew Ng）创建了Coursera在线教育公司。

不久，又有两家相同的公司Udacity和edX问世。

许多著名院校最初把在线课堂视为威胁，而不是教育使命的推动力。但科勒和其他支持新型在线授课模式的人没有与这些院校进行较量。

科勒在2014年对《赫芬顿邮报》（Huffington Post）表示，“我们的做法是，向我们的批评者学习，在开发我们的平台的过程中考虑他们所关注的问题”。

Daphne Koller went from teaching artificial intelligence at Stanford University in California to revolutionizing global online learning.

Now she hopes to help teach a new generation of entrepreneurs.

Koller is co-founder of Coursera, an online educational company designed to provide universal access to the world’s best education. Coursera offers nearly 2,000 free courses from some 145 university partners across 26 countries, ranging from Princeton and Yale in the U.S. to Nanyang Technological University in Singapore and the University of Melbourne in Australia.

As part of her drive to make great education and entrepreneurship skills broadly available, she agreed to develop a curriculum to teach students the basics of starting a business. She urges young people embarking on a challenging career to not be embarrassed to ask questions or request help. Here she offers some other pieces of advice.

Koller became an entrepreneur herself by chance. She taught and did research after she earned a doctoral degree in computer science at Stanford University in 1993, but was uncomfortable with the traditional model of education.

With two fellow scientists, she decided to test something different: They offered their computer-science courses online. Encouraged by the popularity of the courses, Koller developed techniques to make more classes available online. In 2012, she and Andrew Ng launched Coursera.

Soon, similar providers such as Udacity and edX emerged.

Many major schools initially saw online education as a threat to rather than an enhancement of their mission. Koller and other proponents of the new model didn’t fight them.

”Our approach is to learn from our critics, taking their concerns into account as we develop our platform,” Koller told the Huffington Post in 2014.
