The author of this course has expressed a willingness to produce videos for this course here:

https://framapiaf.org/@boud/111745223182899596

I'm willing (if someone expresses a serious interest) to do videos, though I would record them independently of the live lectures with students, to avoid having to edit out discussions with students or keep them in and handle privacy issues. There are also context-dependent explanations that are OK locally but don't make sense planetwide.

If you are a student of this subject or are otherwise interested, consider reaching out, but please be respectful of their time and efforts.

@spaduf And if all goes well, we'll have smooth interfacing between mastodon and lemmy instances. Let's see if this comment appears where I expect it to appear ...

... yes, I see it both in my web interface to my mastodon instance and at the slrpnk.net lemmy instance. :)
