In summary, the conversation discusses the abundance of classroom lecture recordings in the Media section and suggests that the Forum's policymakers review the purpose and quantity of these recordings. It is suggested that the focus should be on more memorable, interesting, or well-explained content rather than routine material. It is also suggested that only introductory parts of academic lecture series be posted, leaving viewers to watch the full series on its own channel. The conversation ends with a comment about possibly moving this topic to the Feedback section for further discussion.

There is an overwhelming number of recordings of classroom lectures in the Media section. If anyone wanted to watch them, they can easily be found on their respective institutions' channels. I'm not saying the content isn't good -- just that there is too much of routine stuff that isn't exceptionally interesting or well presented when compared to a lot of other content on the internet.

Perhaps the Forum's policymakers could review the intent and purpose of the Media Section and decide whether it would be better served by reducing the quantity and by focusing on what is memorable, interesting, or exceptionally well explained.

In the case of a series of academic lectures, we could have just the introductory part of each series and leave it to our members to view the entire series on its own channel once their appetite is whetted. (Currently, there seems to be a tendency to post the entire series here).

Perhaps @Greg Bernhardt can comment.

I am perhaps one of the contributors to that in trying to index the mathispower4u.com website videos here at PF. They were simple but effective math instruction though not at the level of Khan Academy.
