Same here. I think this is a great opportunity and many of us waste it — it's so much easier to post snarky comments on Facebook, after all.
On the practical side, once you download the videos, I can heartily recommend the SwiftPlayer iOS app — it lets you vary the speed at which the videos play, which is very practical for lectures. I watch easier sections (or ones that I just want to repeat) at 1.5-2.0x, going down to 1.25x or 1.0x when things get tougher. Easy FF/RW in 10 or 30-second increments and bookmarking are very useful as well.
I got so used to SwiftPlayer that I can't bear to watch lecture videos in the web browser anymore.
- wcbeard10 13y agoI've found Coursepad [1] is a really nice app for Coursera courses. It can automatically download the videos, keeps track of which ones you've watched, and even allows you to take notes while watching the video. Playback up to 1.8x as well.
