> So why so few courses teach how to build commercial products, that will bring students not only knowledge, but also an opportunity to market the outcome and have some real profit? because that would create competition and nullify the opportunity > Hence many students struggle just to figure out how to deal with the course. Many people have even lower levels of understanding how to approach learning, learning how to learn should probably be ingrained in every course. The first part is true, learning how to learn is prerequisite to university level courses, self-organization is expected from a high school curriculum. This is a difficult topic. Hence, the second part is out of focus for such courses. > Nearly 98% of all courses offer a poor communication model You could say the same about any campus, but communication apart from the course material is not at first order the responsibility of the course offering to solve, except in courses focused on social sciences, or rather soft skills. Anyhow, forums are difficult, true, but bulletin boards and mailing-lists are the traditional channels of the internet. Social networks are a developing industry. Video or just audio is a proven alternative to text. For courses focused on communication, from my experience, a class on presentation technique was as an insightful topic, but that's only the tip of the iceberg. Surely, less technical topics are less amenable via just text. > The more niche is the theme you’re seeking to learn about, the harder it is to find something great, even just something worthwhile of your time. as I just said > English for TOEFL? Ok. English for business? Ok. English for architects? Ha-ha. English for landscape architects? Ha-ha-ha! Technical vernacular is C level (in toefel terms, I guess). Reading a book on the topic should help to familiarity with the topic. > Despite having an overwhelming stream of learning resources, it’s still hard to find something that is excellent personally ... The choice is overwhelming, therefore, focus is needed. Mass education is not really intended to be totally personal. Gamification is a current theme in motivation, maybe finding the right course can be seen as an adventure? A course is always just supplemental, don't expect too much of it, too.
