Pairing self-learners with mentors would be a nice feature.
I recently retrained in IT and had to complement/substitute school material with self-study sources found online (mix of books and video courses).
Instead of teachers, whose added value was approx. zero, I would have benefitted from mentors/sparring partners prepared to do code reviews, architecture feedback,...
Keep up the good work!
- intelVISA 4y agoNice work, Collin and I agree: this would be an interesting feature.
- suddenclarity 4y agoUnfortunately the supply of mentors is basically nonexistent while the demand is endless. Multiple sites have tried with little success. I know one that survived by charging for it and paying their mentors but it's still way below their regularly hourly rate while it quickly becomes expensive for the student.
- saxomoose 4y agoA potential avenue would be for self-learners to act as mentor to other self-learners. With a reputation system à la stackoverflow, mentoring tasks could be made appealing.
