What's with the shitty video player? Can't even go full-screen? Why not just post the videos on YouTube? And the quality of the actual video isn't even HD?

Guessing it's because of the slides. Is there a platform you suggest for playing embedded YouTube videos and a slide deck at the same time?

  How about just making it a part of the video? The video would automatically switch back and forth from the video of the speaker to the slides as necessary. This is the format that was used by pretty much all of my college classes, and I never had any issues with it.

  Uh, why isn't it just slides with a voice over? I don't think seeing Zuckerberg's face is really making anything he says more valuable.

    You're wrong. Depending on where you look, nonverbal behavior constitutes between 60% and 93% of communication. If I really am interested in a podcast I will always opt for the video-version if it means I can't put it on my iPod and listen to it while doing chores like I could with the audio version.

      Perhaps in regards to conversations, but I think for a one way information exchange like a lecture it really doesn't matter.

      Where does that number come from? It sounds suspiciously made up -- not by you, mind you.

        It looks like the original study dealt only with "communication of feelings and attitudes" i.e. emotional content: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Mehrabian#Misinterpretation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Mehrabian#Misinterpretat... I don't see any evidence that this applies to communication in general.

+1 The player doesn't even work for me on Linux

  Huh. Which Linux? Not to detract from your problem with it, but it's working fine for me on Linux/Chromium.
