Not to be flip, but what do I get out of it? In my experience, something like this can easily consume 15-20 hours per week. The last time I did something like this I got tuition reimbursement for TAing. Helping other people learn is fun, but how many people have that type of spare time?

If you anticipate it taking less time, then what is the instructor providing? The time sink -- and the most valuable part for the students -- is answering questions about the course material / giving negative feedback on homework so students know when they are incorrect.

Please don't take this as an attack -- I think the recent movement to bring education to anyone who wants it is awesome. It's just that the missing bit is who instructs / grades / answers questions and how does that person get paid / some return besides good vibes.

The same thing you get out of answering questions on Quora and editing articles on Wikipedia. We're not expecting instructors to spend anywhere close to 15-20 hours per week, or even expecting them to grade homework.

Thanks for the question, we appreciate the feedback.

Hmm. Could you offer a more concrete description of what you're looking for along with time commitments?
