Alteryx Acadmey Videos Missing or Inaccessible

I'm currently working my way through the Alteryx Academy Interactive Lessons on Macros. There seem to be a lot of issues with the video content. Sometimes, within a section of the interactive lesson, it will complete a video and then load the next one within the same section ("iterative macros" section of the Creating an Iterative Macro lesson is an example of this - there are 2 videos that load within that section, first one, then the next once the first is complete).

 

Other times, a video will play through, get to the end, and then stop. It won't load another video, and it won't move on to the next section. If I manually move on to the next section, it's clear that some steps have been missed, as the next video is significantly further ahead. An example of this is the "Build the Macro" section of the Creating an Iterative Macro lesson. The first video ends with showing how to add data to the Macro Input via Text Input template. It just stops there, with only the macro input tool on the canvas. If I click on the next section, "Creating a Loop", a new video loads with the Macro Input tool, a formula tool fully configured with formulas, and a filter icon being dragged onto the canvas. Clearly this is a skip ahead.

I think there are missing videos in the lessons, or the videos are inaccessible and thus not loading.
