This is a cool idea, in principle.

I am generally unconvinced - and have been for a long time - of the efficiency of video lectures. When I was homeschooled, the video-curriculum students (Abeka Video) never seemed to do quite as well as the ones with live instructors.

I am, however, quite enthused about the idea of educational startups, and I certainly hope to be proved utterly wrong!
