I love my Linked in Learning Courses (formerly Lynda). But I realized that they are painfully non-interactive. They only sometimes offer multiple choice quizzes at the end of a chapter. After 6 months of teaching remotely, I don't find videos engaging unless they are humorous (think Danny Gonzalez).
Is there a training site that combines a variety of frequent interactions with high quality training videos?
@Paris: looks like a business opportunity for you :)
I can't speak to LinkedIn courses specifically, but I assume that it's just a matter of production cost and demand. With software training, I would expect that the person watching the video makes the investment in pausing and practicing the activities shown.
For conceptual training like a lot of soft skills, perhaps there's a place for more interactive content, but like I said above, interactive content is expensive to produce (to do it right) and maintaining it is also expensive.

If not, why hasn't someone made one?
Hi Paris,
I'm looking to design a course on Human Trafficking. Would love to hear your ideas and thoughts on creating this course.
Thank You!
