About the Authors

Kristi Curry Rogers

Kristi Curry Rogers is a US paleontologist (Macalester College) specialising in the evolution of sauropod dinosaurs. Her teaching material on dinosaur paleontology has been published as on-demand video courses for general adult audiences interested in natural history.

The CourseFlix listing carries Rediscovering the Age of Dinosaurs. Material is paid and sits in the broader History and culture catalog on CourseFlix as general-interest reference rather than as a software-engineering track.

Wondrium (The Great Courses)

Wondrium (formerly The Great Courses Plus and originally The Great Courses) is a US online education platform that has been publishing university-level video lecture series since 1990. The platform's distinctive contribution is the depth and production quality of its courses — each is taught by a tenured university professor with the production values of a documentary series, not a YouTube tutorial.

The catalog covers academic disciplines rather than technical-skill training: history, philosophy, science, mathematics, literature, music theory, religion, economics. Material is taught by faculty from Stanford, Yale, Princeton, the University of Chicago, MIT, and similar institutions. Wondrium is typically used by intellectually-curious adult learners filling in the liberal-arts side of their education.

The CourseFlix listing under this source carries over 19 Wondrium / Great Courses titles spanning that range — sitting in the broader CourseFlix catalog as general-interest reference rather than as a software-engineering track. Material is paid; Wondrium itself runs on a monthly / annual subscription on the original platform.
