Here [1] is an example of the videos, the player has a handy search feature and links to video parts.

update: It would be great to have a way to take your own notes, any chrome extension that can help with that ?

Comes as a surprise that it's not a project, as, in my experience, all ML/ DL courses I've seen online from US universities (Cal, Stanford, etc.) require. Different university culture across the pond?
