Considering this, I think the videos being short may have some risks, I have some suggestions.
Ideally, I think the videos should explain things at least as good as this, with really nice graphics like this or simple ones like this to increase attention, subtitles in different languages (when appropriate), and use analogies for simpler communication.
Some considerations and questions:
- Long-form content trumps short form due to clarity, and increased fidelity, so the videos should be somewhat long 3 to 15 mins.
- How will this compare to other kinds of education
Unfortunately, I'm still a student so it doesn't apply in my case.
This post mentions learning more about EA as a way to become a better charity entrepreneur, maybe the same principle applies to getting an EA job.
I would suggest auditing the course and (only) watching videos about the unfamiliar topics.
I did the Singer course, and assuming I have an average knowledge about EA , I didn't gain much from it except maybe getting excited about kidney donations. Also I have participated in the community more after taking the course, if that counts as "getting ahead".
Yeah, I think I will stick with self-improvement for now. It seems to me that almost everything too public will have great risks. Hopefully, a more traditional EA could be able to make EA more visible within the community. Thanks for the help.
…and continued the philosophical tradition of "On Politics," Machiavelli's "The Prince," Hobbes' "Leviathan." Do you mean Aristotle’s “Politics”? Also, are you going to discuss the Complexity science approach, (if such an approach exists) or is that irrelevant? Great sequence by the way!
Although, you could make video versions of conceptually-like articles. Which are quite short. But I suppose the difference is that it is not aimed at the general population at large, at least not to the extent of regular short videos I've seen before.
