Become a sponsor to learn-awesome
Today's learning platforms are not actually learner-centric. They want the students to be locked within their apps & websites, learn ONLY from their own content and their own preferred formats. But the way we learn in 21st century is far too rich. We learn from blogs, podcasts, videos, tweetstorms, livestreams, games, newsletters, infographics, Q&A sites, forums and much more. Discovering the right kind of learning material for YOU at the right time is still too hard.
In 2012, Danny Hillis had presented the vision of a global learning map. However, it did not really materialize at that time. There have been similar calls for a syllabus 2.0. Some of us got together and decided to build it for ourselves. Everyone is welcome to join!
We have a browser extension (Chrome / Brave, Firefox), a group chat for learners, an API and even embeddable widgets to display your own learning activity on your own website.
The following costs are currently being incurred by me personally each month: - Heroku (app, database, redis, graphql api server, worker instances): 19$/mo - Chat server : 8$/mo - Domain, DNS, Cloudflare: In addition, I spend almost 20 hours per week to improve the site, the browser extension and more. For eg: I have been working on building a cohort-based course module. All our work is open-source and standards-compliant. We are trying to stay true to our mission of building as a public good.
