The thinking behind it is similar to OpenCourse in that it is all about sharing knowledge for free. However the twist here is that students and tutors are the ones sharing the knowledge they have assimilated during their studies by posting videos and podcasts to the site. And the coolest part (well I guess that depends who you are talking to) is that the site has come up with a revenue model that shares earnings with the content publisher and anyone who shares the content [see http://www.studentsknow.com/help#get_paid to get the logistics of it all]. Kind of cool how they bring together learning and earning money into one site that hopes to be the “first and largest interactive peer-2-peer social network that extends beyond a class, school or geography.” [From the About page at http://www.studentsknow.com/about]. I will be watching to see how the student community accepts and utilizes this new website, should be interesting.

It nicely gathers all the interesting lectures from some ridiculously famous institutions. I'm really happy that you have it up and running. Thanks! Hi,
