Next year, qualified creators can begin offering free or paid Courses to provide in-depth, structured learning experiences for viewers. Viewers who choose to buy a Course can watch the video ad-free and play it in the background.
So you're cloning Udemy? Meh. Not much to be excited about so far.
Finally, to help learners apply what they’ve learned, we’re introducing Quizzes — a new way for creators to help viewers test their knowledge.
That could be somewhat useful, but..
For example, a math creator who recently posted a series on algebra can create a Quiz on the Community tab to ask their viewers a question related to a concept taught in their latest video.
Does anybody ever actually visit the "Community" tab of a channel? Why add this extra friction? Hasn't the technology progressed to the point that quizzes could be integrated right into the video player? For that matter, why not have "adaptive" videos where your quiz results can affect the video that you see (like triggering an extra in-depth explanation for notoriously tricky topic if the quiz taker scores below a certain level, etc.).
I hope this works out and provides some value, but I have my doubts as it stands.
- sbierwagen 4y ago>Does anybody ever actually visit the "Community" tab of a channel? They don't want creators funneling users to external sites like Patreon. They want 100% of their income going through Youtube. Same reason they roll out the "most replayed" feature, to make it easier to skip in-video sponsor segments.
- newswasboring 4y agoHow does most replayed make it easy to skip sponsors?
- likium 4y agoVery frequently the most replayed marker is when the sponsor roll ends.
- PoignardAzur 4y agoI just assumed it was another feature stolen from That-Other-Streaming-Site-Nobody-Talks-About-That-Rhymes-With-CornHub.

- zelphirkalt 4y agoQuizzes ... I specifically looked that on up years ago, to be sure to make the plural correctly. It is still quiz. A quiz. Several quiz.
