Hey Guys, I’m one of the founders of Podium, a university streaming platform that lets anyone listen to the best parts of university classes. We differ from MOOCs in the sense that you can listen to content that’s most relevant to you rather than having to take an entire course. For example, if you’re interested in entrepreneurship you can find and stream 2 to 5 minute clips on “product market fit” or “raising capital” rather than taking a 4 week course. You can also listen to the full courses and classes if you choose.<p>We’re doing this by building out a 2-sided platform where professors can go to record their classes with our web recorder, and where users can go to stream those classes with our web player.
Very cool! I've been thinking of building something similar but never got around to it. I've always wanted something like that for Youtube or Khan Academy videos where I can fastforward to the "tags" I want, and where the videos/lectures would automatically skip over the tags/sections I already know.
suggestions:<p>-root url / Home should be where I can search audio, not that corporate/description page. when i go to podiumedu.com i want to be able to search for the audio right away. It took me a few seconds to figure out i had to click on "Player"<p>- Should be able to see audio without having to login<p>- URLs: it'd be sick if i could send a link to a friend "podiumedu.com/Idea+To+Product" and it show them a list of the audios with that tag<p>- The images for courses takes up way too much real estate. I went to this course "<a href="https://www.podiumedu.com/player/#!/course/5930b2fcdbc7c250cadc0e30"" rel="nofollow">https://www.podiumedu.com/player/#!/course/5930b2fcdbc7c250c...</a> and all i saw was the image, the title, and one row on the table. (I'm using a Surface Pro 4)<p>-x2 speed like Youtube/Audible would be nice
