Would there be any interest for educational streams? (piefed.social)

I have been wanting to do some educational stuff. my primary reason is to revisit stuff that i have learned and am forgetting, and additionally documenting it better so i can reference it in future. I am targetting more for under grad/grad level stuff. Topics would be mostly what i have studied - engineering, material science (thermo, properties, physics, synthesis, structure and shape, charecterisation, etc), maths, physics (mechanics, optics, qm, quantum optics), simulations, biochemistry (beginner), and more. I also may occasionally do some tech related stuff.

I can by myself restudy all this. but thing is that I am lazy and easily distracted. It would be great if i can cover stuff with someone (in interactive manner).

Why do I not find some kinda study buddy irl - I do not know how to do that.

Why I am hesitant/or have not started yet - it is because primarily laziness, and alsothat tons already exist. there is online college courses, which are better than what i could ever produce. I am also not a entertaining kind, and not that good of teacher, so i do not know what i can potentially add to what is existing.

I have also thought of doing some other medium. For example website. I already do maintain one repository of sorts, by my irl identity. but i do not see anyone randomly stumbling on it. I can also record lectures, and post them somewhere, but then I am definitely not doing anything better than any institute.

Imagine you are the one deciding, what medium would you prefer?

What i have been thinking is essentially a online meeting, like jitsi meet, which may be simultaneously casted online, or just recorded, and uploaded afterwards. people in meet would be able to ask, and hence it would be interactive. Whenever i have done courses, i have had like a billion questions, and if i do not ask, i do not understand, so i would not want anyone else to not be able to ask too. live chat is also interactive, but there is always a delay, and writing your doubts, is sometimes hard (you sometimes are so confused you do not know what to ask), so meeting helps with that.

in any case, if you need any help (for example course work or books), feel free to message me.
