Really great visualization here, kudos to the author. Really makes is clear what's going on. Made me think that things like this could be useful in textbooks as well if they were more digital. Maybe in the next few years there will be a better way to integrate this kind of stuff into courses, I guess today they could always happen in lectures.

Take a look at distill.pub (which wsa also featured on the HN frontpage today). Its essentially a Machine Learning Journal with a focus on clarity and visualization, and is therefore interactive and visual. Colah is around on HN and might comment explaining it better.
The Young Lady's Illustrated Primer, pending on next century's Kickstarter equivalent.

Integrating Explained Visually into digital coursework flows would be amazing.

(Disclaimer: have not taken any online courses recently, so my memories of horrendous archaic information management are wildly outdated I hope.)

Yeah that'd be a really neat application for AR as well, interactive examples displayed around the textbook for the current topic etc.
