It's a good goal from just a humanistic standpoint and because learning should be recreational but from an innovation standpoint it's honestly likely overrated.
Innovation is the result of very particular institutions and resources being coordinated and people networking and clustering tightly, which is why, despite incredibly dispersion of knowledge over the internet, innovation and VC money actually still is so geographically concentrated.
I think these online learning resources are good but the expectations should be correct, they're not tools to kickstart innovation, which is much more tacit and reliant on close interaction between people rather than knowledge.
