Idea: A campus library for online education
2 points by caublestone on March 15, 2012 | hide | past | favorite
In college, the best things about going to the library was interacting with people studying many different subjects and being able to find further resources to develop your knowledge. With the rise of online and OPEN online courses like Codeacademy and Udacity, why couldn't there be an online library for the students involved?

I imagine a site where each lesson is indexed so that if I search, say "Recursion" I would get results from "books" like "CodeAcademy Java Script 101". I would be taken to the lesson and dive into learning all about recursion from the lessons and Q&A.

Since these sources have the goal in mind to get people learning, I'm sure it wouldn't be very hard to get them to participate in indexing the material.

Let's hear your ideas for an Online Campus Library.
