Interest check: I want to teach HN meta-learning
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.

Thanks, lmk how it goes. 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%.
