YouTube wants to improve on the experience for learners on the platform without"breaking the magic" of informal YouTube education content, Kurtz said. "Crash Course is so incredibly talented at compelling storytelling and teaching through ideas that can really bring to life concepts for students," Kurtz said."ASU has the rigor of their expertise and pedagogy. And then YouTube has this platform of reach and engagement. I think that combination of these three entities feels like it is potentially a new approach to higher education that I hope will inspire a lot of other people.

Brainwashing is the gol!

Use their videos for social studies. Entertaining and knowledgable

I feel like a nerd for knowing exactly who they are… 😮‍💨

As a Starbucks alum, I am completely unsurprised to see ASU partnering with private industry in an innovative way to advance education opportunities withg a broader audience. Kudos to you michaelcrow and your team.

With college tuition costs sky rocketing, Study Hall is a creative pathway for post high school graduates. Millions of students will have opportunities for self enrichment that can stimulate their interests for future endeavors. This is a creative idea whose time has come.

And if you can't pay for the subscriptions, the govt will bail you out.

We are heading toward not even attending school. The Corporatization of Colleges and Universities has destroyed their original mission of education of the highest standard. They only care about maximizing revenue.

Ugh
