re: "you're a much stronger writer than on-camera personality" LOL, that's a back-handed compliment there.
I think he's aiming to get better at his video production and presentation skills, and believes video delivers more perceived value than just text. Text is not a course, it's an ebook. Courses are worth more than ebooks every day of the week. Perceived value > actual value when it comes to sales... Who's going to pay $2,000 (site license) for an ebook?
BTW, I love video and audio players that allow you to speed up play - 1.5x, 1.75x or 2.0x . Coursera has that, love it.
I'm a self-proclaimed patio11 fanboi, and rave about him to anyone who'll listen. But admittedly, his writing is what I rave about. I'm ambivalent about his videos.
The ideas are still there, but I admit, it needs to be at my reading speed to be interesting.
