Thanks for this nuanced and thoughtful feedback.
Our tool is a new way to present information, and the course creator community is figuring out how best to take advantage of the format. You wouldn't write documentation in the same way that you present to a crowd of 2,000 people, and you won't write a Codecademy lesson the same way you write a textbook. It will take some time to use the platform to its full advantage.
I'm excited to see what innovative courses the community comes up with, and I would love to hear your suggestions about the product or curriculum. Feel free to reach out directly at sasha at codecademy dot com.
- rikramer 14y agoHey Sasha, As mentioned elsewhere on this thread, I'm aggressively working through the courses and have found it immensely helpful. A couple of suggestions: 1) It would be great to highlight on the site some success stories as these develop. I'm learning a lot but my concern is how translatable my learnings will ultimately be to developing real products. It would be great to see the outputs created by people that have worked their way through the courses. 2) How about a demo day for 'grads' who produce companies / products (a la incubator programs)? Seems like this would be a great opportunity for exposure and publicity (Just keep me in mind please so that I can get in on this once I turn my learning into a tangible product :))
- slaundy 14y agoThese are excellent ideas! We certainly want users to be able to use what they have learned into real products. Send me an email—would love to hear about what you're building. sasha at codecademy.com
- rikramer 14y agoWell I'm not building anything yet except my skills and confidence. I'll be sure to reach out once I do get to the stages of building products. Cheers.
