Abstract
In Fall 2014 we offered an online course CS 7637 Knowledge-Based Artificial Intelligence:
Cognitive Systems (KBAI) to about 200 students as part of the Georgia Tech Online MS in CS
program. We incorporated lessons from learning science into the design of the project-based
online KBAI course. We embedded ~150 microexercises and ~100 AI nanotutors into the online
videos. As a quasi-experiment, we ran a typical inperson class with 75 students in parallel, with
the same course syllabus, structure, assignments, projects and examinations. Based on the
feedback of the students in the online KBAI class, and comparison of their performance with the
students in the inperson class, the online course appears to have been a success. In this paper, we
describe the design, development and delivery of the online KBAI class. We also discuss the
evaluation of the course.
