I like many of your videos. They aren't too slow and straight to the point. I've looked into your site codeschool and I can't wait to see what you have to say about regular expressions and assembly. Please keep posting and thank you for the time you've spent making these videos.
Just stating the obvious, 90% of why i'm watching this particular video on the plane is "speaker's voice does not make me ashamed to be an engineer", good job
BTW, I don't suggest you to retake existing videos, making them into smaller chucks. Practically speaking, the new model should be used in future videos only.
@Logicola314 Thx, logicola, that was all helpful. Yeah, the shorter videos does make it easier for me to make changes, though I tend to put off making any changes until I'm ready to redo each unit as a whole.
Your current model resembles traditional software development: Long release cycle, little user feedback, and top-down approach. Recently a successful development pattern emerges: Short iterative progression.
1) A minimum usable product is released ASAP
2) Receive feedback to guide the change in the next iteration.
Examples are found in Chrome, ipad/iphone, and even business growth in 37signals.
Making videos into smaller chunks simply makes it easier to change / perfect.
@brianwill I've watched all the videos with playlists. It works on full screen too.
1) Time marker is a good workaround. It works on the Flash Player, thought not on the html5 one Youtube is experimenting.
2) Unlike watching movies, watching instructional videos requires attention. 10 - 15 mins is the average attention span. It's ok to have videos shorter than 15, but not ideal for anything longer.
BTW, as a self taught learner, I 've watched all your videos in 3 days to have an overview before diving into open courseware provided by major universities.
It's better to split the two videos into smaller chunks, each with a single concept, so that it's easier to review. Now, I have to resort to other means (lecture notes) to review some concepts, without watching the entire video again.
Excellent lecture notes found regarding xv6, a teaching OS based on V6:
@Logicola314 Thanks for the link. More videos makes it a bit of a pain to upload, and some people just want to sit back and watch without having to click for the next video every 8-10 min. (playlist playback kinda solves that problem, but it doesn't work reliably). Would it be adequate to just include video links with time markers in the notes? Unfortunately, you can't specify end time markers. For short chunks, do you think ~5 min is better than 8-11 min?
Brilliant explanation. Thx for this video

Thanks a ton. This is very nice video on system calls and process address space.

It's good for instructors making videos into smaller chunks, each with a single concept, each with a descriptive title.
1) Video Instructors can perfect their craft without retaking videos in hours.
2) They can add, replace, and rearrange videos in their playlist to find the best sequence of instruction.
3) They can reuse their videos sharing a common concept in different playlists. For instance, some OOP videos can be reused in the Java playlist.
