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:

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.

The Art of Longform has been transformational to me, not only for my writing but my creative process in general. I’d be happy sign up to any future courses you decide to publish.

Thank you

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.
