Classroomies takes a totally different approach to free MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses). Instead of watching lectures by yourself, you join a chat (classroom) and watch a 24/7 broadcast of Stanford lectures. Likeminded people are chiming in with questions, sharing additional resources and making valuable new connections. Loving the experience so far.
Thanks so much for the hunt @jasondainter! The goal of Classroomies is to reinvent education for the internet. V1.0 of Classroomies was a small prototype built around educational Youtube videos. However, the community took the product into a different direction, using it during work/while commuting/even during actual university classes because the in-person lecturer was too boring. With v2.0 we've completely rebuilt everything from scratch and shifted to audio-based education. By listening and learning together, I hope to bring a more social learning experience to the web, for all to enjoy.
