I routinely listen to TH-cam videos that break down research papers. This would be great for the niche papers that nobody will ever make a video about. The trick will be to keep it engaging over time and especially for longer papers.
I guess the theory here is that different voices, and the informal tone, will keep it engaging. Length is interesting - the examples provided all seem to generate a conversation of about 5 mins.
Please make this a reality! It has the potential to open doors for countless individuals. Beyond merely making research papers accessible to academics, it can transform research literature into something that is more engaging, understandable and interpretable for nearly everyone.
I wonder if some academics will resent hard research being made accessible in this way - and argue that students should have to learn to navigate through complex material without such aids? The old 'I had to do it, so my students should too' argument?
I just listened to one of the discussions. Like ChatCPT output, it seems formulaic, with no real engagement with the question. There are many much better ways of helping students understand a paper than this. Don’t get me wrong, I hope this becomes useful but it’s not there yet.
