Resolved: UX regarding course resources

Dear Team,

This is with reference to the resources for all the courses on your platform.

Is there a possibility of flattening the provided resource structure? While I understand that, from the developer perspective, it might simplify deployment across several sites, from the user experience perspective, it involves having to wade through several nested folders and zip files to reach what is essentially 1-4 files, extract each to a single folder, and finding out that the same dataset has been repeated upto 6 times in some instances, leading then to decisions about whether to overwrite or if these are progressions of the same dataset (e.g. in tutorials involving data cleaning).

For a single course, this can involve anything between 30-60 minutes of organisation, sometimes more. This adds to user frustration and detracts significantly from the time spent learning and from the otherwise excellent content and teaching on your platform.

A suggestion would be to place everything in a separate folder for each course module, numbering the notebooks to correspond to the videos and having a single copy of the dataset files used throughout the whole module.

I look forward to your views. Thank you again for the high quality courses and explanations on your site.

Sincerely,

Rajdeep
