Since the first instances of online education, where courses were uploaded to accessible and shared online platforms, this form of scaling the dissemination of human knowledge to reach a broader audience has sparked extensive discussion and widespread adoption. Recognizing that personalized learning still holds significant potential for improvement, new AI technologies have been continuously integrated into this learning format, resulting in a variety of educational AI applications such as educational recommendation and intelligent tutoring. The emergence of intelligence in large language models (LLMs) has allowed for these educational enhancements to be built upon a unified foundational model, enabling deeper integration. In this context, we propose MAIC (Massive AI-empowered Course), a new form of online education that leverages LLM-driven multi-agent systems to construct an AI-augmented classroom, balancing scalability with adaptivity. Beyond exploring the conceptual framework and technical innovations, we conduct preliminary experiments at Tsinghua University, one of China's leading universities. Drawing from over 100,000 learning records of more than 500 students, we obtain a series of valuable observations and initial analyses. This project will continue to evolve, ultimately aiming to establish a comprehensive open platform that supports and unifies research, technology, and applications in exploring the possibilities of online education in the era of large model AI. We envision this platform as a collaborative hub, bringing together educators, researchers, and innovators to collectively explore the future of AI-driven online education.

AI instructional agent improves student's perceived learner control and learning outcome: empirical evidence from a randomized controlled trial
An RCT reports higher perceived learner control with an AI lecturer than with a human or MOOC, but the learning outcome claim is weakened by inconsistent reporting and post hoc data choices.

AgentGroupChat-V2: Divide-and-Conquer Is What LLM-Based Multi-Agent System Need
A divide-and-conquer multi-agent framework with task forests and specialized roles improves math and code benchmarks but not commonsense or domain QA, and the adaptive heterogeneous-LLM engine is never tested.
