The education thing is interesting (and didn't they recently restart some old intra-school features they had in the old days?), and there's a lot of opportunity in the Blackboard space.

The Khan Academy in particular, though, is a non-profit. I don't even resemble an expert on the subject, but I think that would make acquisition difficult to (practically) impossible. And even if it were legally easy, Salman Khan's success and ambitions makes it extremely unlikely he would agree to it (eg move from CC to "sign in using your facebook ID?").

A partnership might fall in line with their mission, though.
