Thanks! One thing that can definitely set a course apart is having advanced topics + downloadable videos + captions. I really enjoyed the Stanford NLP CS224d videos, which hit all 3 and even have their own torrent [1].

Does anyone know if there's a platform for crowdsourcing video captions, maybe from the anime world?

Edit: it appears as though you can correct the auto-generated captions on Youtube videos (perhaps only if you're the owner). What a great way to get labeled Speech Recognition data for free.

I would add assignment solutions to your list of desirable things. Makes it easy to keep moving after getting stuck.
It looks like the videos are hosted on YouTube, which has a caption/subtitle crowdsourcing feature now.
