How many threads and discussions have we had about LessWrong readers joining or participating in online classes? How many about forming study and reading groups for such classes or textbooks? Please help me complete this list. I'm interested in getting a quick idea of what works and what doesn't in trying to educate parts of the community as whole. I think it is relevant to the problem of our subculture not updating as well as some other efforts I'm currently working on.

Online Classes

Study groups

I'm surprised no-one's thrown together an online course aggregator yet.

You mean something like Class Central?

Yes. It's a shame nothing like that already exists.
