I've followed tutorials online, used Treehouse, and other services to learn online. They are useful, but for me, there is one aspect missing: help. I'm currently in university and If I have a question in class or during a study session, there is ALWAYS someone to help. I get frustrated and discouraged when I'm following a class and don't understand anything, I search the web for help and can't find much to do with the exact topic I need help with. This in turn, makes me stop enjoying that class and can eventually lead to giving up. It would be great for these online education providers to use an IM client, IRC room or something to facilitate student discussion for classmates to discuss lectures, ideas, and help each other.
