That's why I play Coursera's videos at higher rates. It makes the learning much more intensive and interesting.

At higher rates? You mean 1.5x or 2x speed? What tool do you use for that?

It's built into Coursera's video player - there's a menu/button to change it somewhere on the toolbar under the video.

I like to watch at 1.5x (or 2x if it's something I'm really sure I completely know from previous courses or experience) most of the time, and then if something starts to be especially confusing I'll slow down to 1x.
