I just stumbled on this post with a video from the Khan Academy founder. It’s a great inside look on what drives him to put together his video lectures on over 1,000 academic subjects.

There are already several classes here on Curious Reef related to OpenCourseWare content. Some classes focused on Khan’s lectures would be great too (they’re Creative Commons licensed). If any of his subjects is interesting to you, feel free to create your own class on Curious Reef around the content. It would be a great way to track progress and work with others.
