I think this is exactly what open courseware needs. I will be cheering you on and following your progress closely!
I am not sure if you already have this planned but I would love to see an open curriculum or sorts. Basically a curated list of courses (that have proper video lectures) that I can take to get a degree equivalency.
If for example I wanted to learn everything an undergraduate in business learns at a university, I can take the courses in your list in the order you suggest and get an equivalent education. (These courses should be recordings of actual classes and not dumbed down short videos).
I think this curation of courses will go a long way in how open courseware is perceived.
- bruceb 13y agoCourseBuffet actually grew out of my frustration with open courseware. So much content but poorly organized. Too much random. As for degree equivalency ...stay tuned.
- BSousa 13y agoThis times 100. I've been trying to 'create' a syllabus for teaching myself math but it is a pain to be able to get this info and then find the courses for it. I go to MIT and 1/2 of the classes are available on video, then I try to search for the ones that aren't in other Unis but they have different names which makes it all the more confusing. I actually ended up just going to my old uni syllabus and just buy the required reading books and try from there, but having this compiled would be such a great help
- my_username_is_ 13y agocheck out Saylor.org. they're trying to build a single open education platform that actually has self study equivalents for entire degree programs
- npunt 13y agoI like what they do. I see them as a good place for taking on this type of standards definition project, which is an activity better suited for a foundation like Saylor than a startup.
