watty: I am the author of the repo, and I hear your concerns. After finishing teaching with General Assembly, I launched my own online course [1] because I wanted to provide a classroom-like experience to online students, and very few companies seemed to be doing that. By "classroom-like", I mean that I teach classes live (via webinar), hold live office hours (via Slack), assign pre-class readings, and assign homeworks (and provide feedback to students).
It will be interesting to see whether other players in the online education space start to provide similar offerings. The most similar structure I have found is companies [2][3] providing a set curriculum (via videos and written materials) along with a mentor you work with one-on-one.
