Cosmin Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 I would LOVE to see Stef's "Intro to Philosophy" on khanacademy.org. Ideally remade in glorious HD and without the sunglasses I really think it would reach a whole new audience this way, and of course it would match Khan's vision of providing free education for everyone.
sagiquarius Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 As a huge advocate of using the internet for education (free university courses, MOOC, EdeX, and so on), I think that is an excellent idea. I have this bug in the back of my mind to help see that come to pass once my life stabilizes from my upcoming move and such. Where'd all my free time go?!?!? Putting together course material appropriate for the format seems like a lot of work, but worth it if it helps get the word out. If there is a desire to redo the intro series, Stef likely doesn't have the time to do so right now. I'm sure something could be constructed around what is available on YT right now.
dsayers Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 As much as I love the series, it does really need to be cleaned up. He has better equipment now and would hopefully do better at sticking to the material.
sagiquarius Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Look, I've given y'all plenty of time to do this, so I'm just gonna do it myself: KHAAANNN!!! There, it had to be done- truly it did. +2 nerd points.

Carl Green Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Word on the street is, there's a new studio in the works. Maybe this'd be a good series to give it a test spin in...

I had the reference hyper-linked this entire time ... or not so much. Word on the street is, there's a new studio in the works. Maybe this'd be a good series to give it a test spin in... I'm really curious to know what's (planned) ahead for FDR. New studio, documentary; philosophy certainly has found quite the avenue for it's long muted voice. I'm glad to be around I'm at this time.
