Ooh, that's neat. Reminds me of Khanacademy
Today I Learned
What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

Love how much stuff Wikipedia has out there!
Don't get expectations too high tho - materials are there, designed to guide you through learning, but you've very much self-directed. Be prepared for plenty of interesting courses to show up in the list, but to actually be incomplete stubs. You can look for courses by completion status to mitigate that. And it doesn't have the same level of editor engagement as Wikipedia, so not everything will be as fleshed out or as correct.
Wikibooks is also cool, if you're into this stuff. Same caveats apply, many of the books might be incomplete or outdated, but a good resource anyway. And don't forget, if you want to learn about something, some thorough reading in Wikipedia itself is probably a smart primer.
Searching by completion status should be helpful! Thanks!
Today I also learned. Time to drop out of college!
Wikiversity is not an accredited institution in the USA or Canada, probably not anywhere afaik, but probably great if you need additional guidance in a subject and you're okay with every visual being demonstrated in trigonometry for some god-forsaken reason.
“I’m taking karate classes online…”
You'll be ready to kick troll asses in no time!
I'm suspicious of an online course in bartending
Why? It's mixing drinks, not necessarily the full Cocktails movie thing.
Does it teach you how to deal with drunk assholes?
The homework is a challenge.
I'm curious enough as to take it, it might be useful.
