A code bootcamp founder called me a couple days ago asking how Lambda School has such a diverse student body. “You have folks from all walks of life, we end up always training rich kids.” Step one: don’t charge $18,000 in upfront non-refundable tuition

Does everyone know you can do a programming "nano degree" with Udacity for $500?

Personalized assistance and community. Makes all the difference.

1500 hours of personalized, reactive instruction is the hard part. Video lectures is the easy part.

I find the videos great. In my degree 30yrs ago it was much harder. All you had were lecture notes and a text book.

As an Instructional designer, I’d say there are benefits to both models. Yes, videos feel “better” compared to text, but the responsiveness of in-person feels superior to video. When learning new skills, I think it’s safe to say: Tell < Show < Do/Experience.

I don't think the medium is as important, the format and interaction is. Pre-recorded is hard.

I think Udacity do a good job. They do video quizz video and then mini assignments that get checked by a bot. Itersperced with motivational stuff. It's a relatively new thing but they have something that can be built upon. Imop it's far better than traditional learning.

They do a good job, but there's so, so much more that can happen. It's certainly not the pinnacle of education.

I'm sure it's not. But it's a way that can allow a lot of flexability in all aspects. Releasing or leveraging super valuable resources.
