Robotics Training Online Course Idea

So our team has traditionally emphasized the formal training of all of our new members, especially our freshmen, and this past year we experimented with an online course teaching them the basics of robotics. As a result, we have a ton of videos explaining programming, mechanics, etc.

Now after signing up for a course on machine learning on coursera, I had a proverbial "light bulb" moment. We could make a course online (using the platform udemy, I've used them, and they are pretty good) teaching all of the basics required for FIRST robotics. I foresee this course as a great resources for not only rookie teams, but veteran teams passively instructing new members.

What more, we could make this course a community effort. Different teams can contribute videos about different topics to be added to the course (showcasing their shirts and knowledge in the process).

Does this sound like an interesting idea to anyone, like it could be useful, furthermore, does something like this already exist?
