How about adding non-MOOCs for people to organize learning subjects together? Say I want to learn a new language or framework. It would be nice to be able to find a group of people learning the same thing.
That looks like a great thing to me. One thing that bothers me though is that you have to hand over your full name and email address before you can even see what functionality this website provides. I would prefer if there was some kind of guest access or at least some screenshots of the interface.
This is something I can work on. Screenshots are something I could easily add. Would it help if I put some screenshots on the home page? Guest access would be a bit hard, but definitely doable as well.
It's just a trust issue, not in particular with you, but if I come across a website that wants my email address but doesn't clarify what if offers in return, I'm hesitant in giving up that information.
Also it is not clear to me, if my full name would be shared with other users of that page. I certainly don't want my new employer to know that I'm looking for a study buddy for "Java 101" right after accepting that offer for a senior position :)
This is awesome! Are you familiar with the plus/equals/minus learning concept? Unfortunately I can't recall the exact term used when I first read about it and google isn't helping. It basically says the most effective way to master a subject is to have a: "Plus" - someone who knows more about the subject than you, has more experience than you, can act as a mentor and resource for you and answer questions. "Equal" - a…

I think this is a good idea. I've thought about doing something like this for books as well. I haven't yet thought about doing this for programming languages or frameworks, but maybe I should.
Also, if a study group successfully finished an intro course, they might want to take an advanced course together. Or do some non-MOOC advanced learning.
After all, people aren't taking courses in a vacuum. They're taking them as part of a learning path. That path can include additional courses, exercises, projects, and a lot more.

Great work! ..I'm going to game the system a bit and ask this thread: Does anyone want to atudy machine learning papers w/me (asynch) and discuss via voice call? Also looking for project partners. Heavy preference for reinforcement learning and computer vision. <<- even if this works I'll definitely be using your site to find buddies. Thank you!

I think it would help, you could also have a link to a separate page where you show screenshots and how it works if you want to keep your landing page minimal.
