Tell HN: Adopt a Course from OpenCourseWare

We at Udemy are huge fans of OpenCourseWare. Personally, I learned how to code from MIT's Intro to Computer Science and now I get paid to do it. The content is seriously invaluable.

There is a problem however. When working through these courses, you have virtually no support available to you. We want to change that.

Starting today, we are accepting applications for people from the HN community to “adopt a course” from OpenCourseWare on Udemy. This basically means that you as an instructor will define a schedule for people working through the content, lead discussion and answer questions posted on the discussion board. And if you want to do more, such as leading live discussion, creating supplemental content, or giving tests, we encourage it. The goal is to develop a nice community around the courses, so that students can help each other.

If you want to adopt a course post below or email me (email in profile) with what course you’d like to adopt and a sentence or two on why you’re qualified.
