It would be awesome if there was a way to specify my knowledge in certain fields, and filter out all courses that are too basic. As an example, I'm not interested in seeing dozens of "Introduction to Computer Science" courses, but I would be interested in a more advanced course on Artificial intelligence.

We've been working on that as it's something that affects lots of people. A very common case (which applies to me) is that you want advances courses in one topic and then introductory in others. The infrastructure for levelling is already there but we're having to manually assess the level of courses for most providers which takes some time.

In addition to reminding me when the course starts, could you remind me of homework/quiz deadlines as well?

This would be awesome. We are trying to work out the best way to do this (ideally we'll partner with the MOOC providers) but it is certainly on our upcoming feature list!

Love it. However, is there a way to add past courses to my "records"? When I try to add the past iteration of a course to my wall, it adds the next iteration.

Ah sorry about that - that's a bug. You should be able to add previous iterations of a course if you select the 'show past courses' checkbox. Will look into this and fix asap - UX for this does need some work too :)

Thanks for checking in and the quick responses!

Yeah, I selected the 'show past courses' checkbox and selected a course that was over a year ago. If you are looking for specific data points for the bug, it was the Coursera "Machine Learning" class.

Ah thanks for that info, that helps!
