This is a really neat concept. One of the challenges for me for learning is filling in partial knowledge. E.g., when I understand some statistics / AI concepts, but want to fill in some new area of knowledge, it's hard to justify taking an entire class if all the material I need is buried in one or two talks.
I'm building a search engine for lectures (https://www.findlectures https://www.findlectures) and avoided this problem by focusing on standalone lectures (e.g. conference talks). Their way seems much better, for cases where you need to understand all the pieces of a big problem. Also, kudos for curating data by hand :)

- agumonkey 10y agoAfter doing a few moocs, I wished I could just have a form of automated testing for any subject. So I can compete every time I feel I have a new intuition.
- garysieling 10y agoThat's an interesting idea! Testing is an interesting topic, since the obvious way to do it is multiple choice, but it's tricky to make questions that don't just test your ability to memorize trivia.
