How are you able to download the videos to begin with?



oh hi!

If you're an OMSCS student, most courses offer the download through Ed or Canvas. Usually it's a big zip file under the first lesson, but I've seen some available in the shared Dropbox. I've seen this for GIOS, ML4T, ML, and a few others. Or you can just reach out to the TAs.

If you're not a student, then it gets a bit tricky. Some courses are available as YouTube playlists or on Coursera, but then it becomes a hassle to download and piece together hundreds of individual files.

Feel free to drop me a note (email in my profile), or open an issue on github.


Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I'm not a student there. I just saw that they were making some of their lessons publicly available and wanted to organize the material for myself. I'm experiencing their courseware through the 2 minute long micro lessons on the Ed platform and I don't see any way to download the videos.

Seems like I'm stuck using Ed.


Some courses are widely available on YT [1], and already in the more palatable (IMO) long-form format instead of hundreds of 1-2 min snippets. Some other courses you can find download links somewhere [2].

So yeah, it's a bit of a hassle, and but you can probably still piece it together for some/most courses that are publicly available.
