What comes through loud and clear from what you said, and i totally agree with, is the EVIDENCE BASIS that is generated from khanacademy.org, and i totally agree how valuable and convincing it is; to a parent, teachers, education community at large. I think any development we do going forward on production tools for teachers (which justin and i agree is key as it lowers barriers to entry for new content creators) HAVE to be integrally tied to testing scenarios.

This requires some serious input from educators who understand the fundamental development milestones of children at different ages, so we can come up with appropriate testing scenarios. a simple search on google yielded this gem which i'd like to discuss when we speak, i think we could strip out at least 20 simple test scenarios and have them integrate into the various forms of contect; essentially a slightly more structured approach to gathering quality content, in which teachers get a goal/teaching concept of the week, leverage the testing tool, and submit content around it.
