Pricing:
Free
Open to the public- Visit our website, and see all the free content. You will see that we have a lot of content. And, yes, it really is free! Why is it free? Because we want people to share this content widely!
- If you want to create your own Chunks (mini-courses), please select the creator option for $5 per month (about the price of a coffee). Why do we charge for that? Because we are a bootstrapping startup, and your small contribution will help us to keep going! (think of it as a small “tip” for the developers if you like what we are doing!)
- In the future, we will be allowing creators to sell their courses

What does "Chunking" mean?
"Chunking" is the idea of breaking down a big (hard to understand) concept into smaller pieces.
The idea of "chunking" is used in teaching, and is nicely explained by Dr. Barbara Oakley, University of California, San Diego: "When you first look at a brand new concept it sometimes doesn't make much sense... Chunking is the mental leap that helps you unite bits of information together through meaning. The new logical whole makes the chunk easier to remember, and also makes it easier to fit the chunk into the larger picture of what you're learning."
