What a concept! Or, who’s concept? It looks like this is a very promising emerging use of existing technology. The site is impressive in it’s design and ability to enable anyone to set-up an educational video delivery system. However, doesn’t TeacherTube do that? Without focusing on the the duplication of service, I find that the idea of expanding this form of education fits the definition of “Emerging Technology”. As educational sites like TeacherTube and Udemy continue to emerge the public will benefit from having alternative education options. I do question the quality of teaching methods, but the volume of teachers and subjects will challenge students to find the right fit.

Hey Pete,
Udemy looks like a very promising ‘self-learning’ site. The courses that are offered covers broad range of topics. I notice there are free courses as well as pay. I am a bit skeptical with the quality of the course and I tried to look around the site for information on how the courses are screened for quality of content. Thanks for sharing!
