High level:

Expand the idea of a lesson presentation from a single video to an experience that is sequence of presentation and interactions.

The presentation may be concurrently presented in 3 or 4 forms on a page with each corresponding to a learning style:
1. A video or picture with audio
2. An abstract diagram of the concept
3. Hyper text description
4. A "sandbox" area with interactive elements

The student flips through the lesson just like a book.

Intermediate check points as the student to demonstrate comprehension. Each lesson has a set of practice problems as well.

Social elements enable students to share with parents and / or tutors.

The lesson components are imported from standard content creation tools - video, pot, word etc. The lesson editor assembles the imported content and adds the motion elements (see iMovie).

The Player is totally client side. Lessons are edge cached and downloaded to clients on demand. The player captures stats and records server side.

I am trying to differentiate from Kahn.
