Just launched www.madrassa.co Where I try to tackle the 90% dropout rate that online courses experience, by reducing the 10,15,30+ hours of course material to 1,2,3 minutes total. Using the native language of the web (GIF) to teach Code & Design skills. What courses would you want to see on madrassa?

Really good idea. I'm not too sure about GIF, why not use a proper video format that will use less bandwidth. You could always use GIF as a failover.

  Tnx! The point of GIF is to not need plugins, or pause videos etc. GIF is not super efficiently used in this beta version though. Need to improve that.

    audioless mp4 or what imgur calls .gifv could also be an option.

    You should check out gfycat, first to do gifs as html5 video.
