Difference between course and screencast
What is the difference between a screencast and a course?
course: https://github.com/EbookFoundation/free-programming-books/blob/99672525f2493ac22eb70e4587925b6e85c45a44/courses/free-courses-en.md#L256
screencast: https://github.com/EbookFoundation/free-programming-books/blob/99672525f2493ac22eb70e4587925b6e85c45a44/casts/free-podcasts-screencasts-en.md#L50
some of the "screencasts" might better be termed "vlogs", but changing would break things.
maybe we should add a better definition on the CONTRIBUTING file, or combine the two

Back in the day when you got a print copy of the «undergraduate announcement» for the academic year, «course» referred to a series of multiple lectures during spring/fall term. And I'm still used to refer to use this like «among the courses, did you read chemistry 201» as hypernym (umbrella term) and contrasting to «did you attend the lecture on Tuesday» to refer to a specific event and date, regardless if attendance was in person, or remotely, across the country via a computer. Based on this tradition, I would prefer new contributions to the project to follow this pattern.
This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity during last 60 days :sleeping:
It will be closed in 30 days if no further activity occurs. To unstale this issue, remove stale label or add a comment with a detailed explanation.
There can be many reasons why some specific issue has no activity. The most probable cause is lack of time, not lack of interest.
Thank you for your patience :heart:

as we look to the words, the course is a recorded course while the screencast is a live class.
