Ask HN: Suggest features for a Virtual University Project

from the ask-hn dept.

If we are creating a virtual university like wikiversity.org, where teachers and learners come together to teach and study at their own pace. What should be the unique features that will motivate you to join and participate either as a teacher or as a learner.

Cool visuals (colors and high contrast) plus instant feedback. Kinda like khan academy. Also a specific subject focus would be great.

Practice-based learning.

I want to be able to do exercises instead of just reading walls of text.

On behalf of all teachers in the world, how about paying them?
