Interest check: I want to teach HN meta-learning

[InfiniteBox]

I've got 7 years of experience as a learning designer, specializing in self-education.

Here's the thought. I have needed elements for learning a skill, what I call "the fundamentals of meta-learning," and I use them to create new ways to teach. For the next 3 months, I'd like to teach a course around them. They will help you learn skills faster and teach others better.

The course will include theory and practice. The theory consists of necessary conditions for learning a skill, backed with academic evidence. The practice may be students teaching or learning a skill of their choosing, with regular feedback sessions.

Here's a full proposal. Please read it! There's crucial info inside that will help you decide if it's worth it, including a proof of concept and how I plan to finance the project.

When you claim it speeds up learning, you need to tell us how much faster it made you learn X.

Thanks for the advice! So I invented a faster way to learn chess. The solution was simple: I found necessary conditions for various chess blunders and trained myself to recognize them during play.

Here's a simple proof: https://docs.google.com/document/d/13unaqOo02sA4kiBFayoQ01CS...

I shared the technique with a friend, and he doubled his chess skill within 10 hours of training. That is, he went from better than 35% of players to better than 70%.
