LOCK THIS THREAD MAKE IT A STICKY - This is GROUNDBREAKING!!!!1

SPREAD THE WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is great. What an incredible resource!

I downloaded a course ("developing musical structures") however I can't seem to figure out how to view lectures. (There are lectures right? At least thats what it said in the video)

I see all the course materials but no lectures. And how to use the downloaded material is a bit cryptic to me.. anybody figure it out?

[Fredrik]

I downloaded a course and I just clicked the .html document in the folder and a site opened with streaming links and reading material provided for each lecture.


I read about this in wired some time ago but somehow I had forgot about it, it´s truly great IMO.

[Psyko/Acoustics]

Wow.

Thanks for the link!

[xist]

It seems there's no any real "lesson's content", but just the list of the lectures, the notes, the listenings list, etc.

I don't get it

Well, for educators it's surely useful, but for self-learners ?!?

[WTMNMF]

It's all there. Try harder.

Download.
Unzip.
Drill down to welcome.htm and open it.
Look for the link to 'lecture notes' or whatever you have in the course you downloaded.
Open a lecture.
Learn.

Enjoy!


This is a dream come true

I too, failed at finding the meat of all 3 music courses i've downloaded...?

Readings/listenings assignments, quizzes and stuff like that, but not any lectures to be found.

Did i miss something ?
