Isn't that tld only available to educational institutions? Although I guess it all depends on how you fine that term.
Edit: actually, .edu is only for accredited 4-year universities as determined by the USA. http://net.educause.edu/edudomain/
An issue with all these Web sites is that they provide mostly just videos and Web boards. If we want to make a real difference in student's lives and spark a significant improvement in our education systems, the system designer needs to think much more thoroughly about how people learn.
Moreover, designing such a system effectively requires collaboration with experts who have real-world experience improving students' results.
So what's a better alternative?
I've given the topic much thoughts over the years. (I am Com Sci masters grad, but I've taught, created learning media, and written books on the topic of learning and education). A more detailed proposal I created can be found here:
I agree. While I like that YouTube EDU has lots of classes, it just doesn't match Academic Earth for the organization. YouTube EDU seems to rely more on search, but Academic Earth has a well-structured taxonomy that makes more sense to me in an academic setting. With more sites out there like this, this should only increase the bar so that we end up with better resources.
Yea I have thought about writing an aggrigator, but video isn't like a webpage, it might be hard to index the videos. After that they all have there own way of embedding. Also they all have there own way of determing if something is good or bad. I don't know seems like things need to converge a bit more. Or someone needs to figure out the backdoor.
