input on the idea please?
evandavid: I like the idea. I've often thought about this within more narrow verticals (e.g. programming).I like to learn using iTunes U, but it would be nice to have those video lectures included in a broader curriculum recommendation from somebody whose credentials I trust.<Off-topic rant for your consideration>: Personally, it would be nice to force me into a certain timeline. Perhaps using some form of calendar style metaphor where I can check things off as I complete them and it lets me know if I'm getting behind (or even how I'm doing compared to the average). Maybe it's just me, but sometimes it is nice to have some enforced discipline when learning.  Further to this idea, imagine if an author could create a curriculum and then constrain it to what they considered an optimal timeline; that way a group of learners could be working through the curriculum simultaneously - asking questions in the forum about "this week's task" etc. Or meeting up with other local learners.  Then again if you had enough learners participating, there would always be someone at the same stage in the material as you anyway. Maybe I just miss my undergrad years :(Anyway, I really like the idea;  would love to know how you will recruit curriculum authors with the necessary credibility.
