I finally watched this. It makes perfect sense to me. I am sure that I would have benefited from it. Especially knowing that the next day I would be going into two-way discussions about the material. I wouldn't have wanted to leave the video without grasping a concept. My sense is that education is going to look very different 50 years from now.

It's nice to see Khan Academy just giving people these tools. I am sure that they are changing people's futures. I am going to try to turn my niece on to them. -I might brush up on some calculus too.

As far as obvious flaws that I see right now, class size is the biggest problem that comes to mind. If you can't engage at some point, it's difficult to learn.
