I really like to watch the course videos in fullscreen mode to keep out all unnecessary ui while listening. This helps my concentration and focussing on the lesson. Doing one thing at a time makes understanding new concepts easier.

Bug #01: When i'm watching in fullscreen mode and hit the the space bar it pauses the video, but when i try to resume the by hitting the space bar again, the video restarts.

Idea #01: Add a button on the right bottom corner of the fullscreen video element to start the next segments video, so you don't have to leave fullscreen to start the segment and enter fullscreen again. Netflix has a very neat solution to this for binge-watching. You can either exit, start it manually or let it count down 30s to start automatically.

Idea #02: Make the Quiz / Code - Course-Element work in fullscreen mode too, so you don't have to leave fullscreen mode at all.
