Interesting. I'm solving the same problem but with a different approach![1] I just finished the initial development yesterday so there isn't much in the way of documentation yet, but I'll give a quick overview as a comparison to this (since they have a similar goal but very different approaches):
I have one course put together so far and that course is still a little rough[2] (again, just finished development yesterday).
I think manual curation of resources by topic experts is required for this model to be effective. An expert on a subject will know where you should focus your efforts so you don't get lost just wandering around the internet digesting all the related information. mgadams3 touched on this with their observation about learn-anything.xyz courses needing a cohesive narrative.
I also think tests are necessary. I have read many articles about all sorts of things and more-often-than-not the information goes in one ear and out the other. My approach involves a series of multiple choice quizzes every few articles and a multiple choice final exam at the end. This way you know that you have actually learned something before moving on. I don't have any tests set up for the course I have made yet, but they are an integral part of the process.
learn-anything.xyz is cool. The tech is very impressive! I'm just not sure that it was made by someone that is actually going to use it for all of their learning, and I would have no idea how to effectively use it for my learning. Impressive work but that's just my 2 cents.

- nileshtrivedi 9y agoPlease take some time to expand the README and a few screenshots, perhaps. :-)
- claudiulodro 9y agoFor sure. I wasn't expecting to talk about it anywhere for a few weeks. Keep an eye on that repo; there will definitely be more documentation and stuff coming soon.
