This looks great! Are there plans on making more of this course's content available to non-CMU students (e.g. recorded lecture videos)? Thanks

That is something we would love to do in the future, however our current videos have students voices and faces so we cannot release them for privacy reasons.
My wife's in a remote master's program. What they did is chop up the lecture. When students asked a question, that was omitted from the online presentation. The result is that an hour of class winds up being, say, four 12-minute videos.

That sounds weird, and it can be a bit choppy, but it has advantages. You get to stop and think at the points where others needed to ask questions. You have natural breaking points if you prefer smaller-sized bites.

So, I don't know if the students are in all of your video, or just when they ask questions. But if it's only when they ask questions, you might consider this approach.

Aww, sad :(. The faces are likely problematic, but the voices themselves shouldn't be (not identifiable to a person)
Why not? I can't really see the difference, except that identifying a person by face is easier than by voice.
Yeah exactly, a generic voice is not personally identifyable.
