Effectively, this would model the “major” abstraction but dissolve the “course” abstraction. You’d have courses unbundled into lessons and living as first class citizens in the stream-course or major. To understand a lesson you’d need to backtrack through the specific DAG subtree

Does this sound interesting? You’d access via monthly subscription fee that would increase modestly as the content accumulated via a formula that discounts access value of older modules and saturates at a lifetime max cost. Say $5/mo increasing over years to $10/mo

This feels like the best structure for some of my favorite topics that I might like to coursify like visual thinking, breaking smart, office politics/slightly evil, temporality. Room for both improv and building, steering flexibly while growing.

It’s an unbundled-middle format. I feel the scoping theme of a “major” adds value, and the “lecture” unit is still the best atomic module. But the “course” level of structure really adds no value at all. Cc: and other online course people.

I have to investigate whether teachable allows for hop on/hop off pricing. Or pausing billing. That would be nice+fair if instructor goes too long without adding new content modules.

Basically I want to be able to “blog” a course on the production side, since I suck at waterfall production of content.

You wouldn't even necessarily need to build the dependencies first - just indicate that this lecture is dependent on concept/content yet to be built. In fact, it would have to work that way. After making a unit, you'd realize there were aspects that needed deeper illumination.

Nope, no patreon. Patronage is a toxic relationship by default, healthy by exception. Pure commerce is far healthier. You pay for an ongoing education, you stop paying when it stops being useful.
