The brothers announced their new educational initiative, Study Hall, a partnership with Arizona State University and YouTube.
, which allows users to gain college credit, for a very reasonable rate, by taking classes on YouTube.
“We’d looked a lot at what we do at Crash Course and felt really good about that,” Hank Green told BuzzFeed News. “We had intentionally said, 'We make content, and that’s what we do.' But the idea presents itself when you’re creating high-quality educational materials. You start to have those thoughts about providing credentials for people.”
Once someone completes the assessments and attains the grade they want, they can pay $400 to receive college credit. Users can choose not to take the credit, meaning they’ve only ever spent $25. “If Study Hall can provide an actual learning community at scale for cheap, that would be transformative." So far, the playlists on Study Hall’s YouTube channel cover topics like data literacy, chemistry, algebra, writing composition, human communication, rhetoric and composition, math, and US history to 1865. The introductory videos are hosted by ASU college students, Green said, in order to make the idea seem less intimidating to those traditionally scared of college.
