Another enhancement for video lectures: cross-linking. When given a video lecture, you can't ask it for clarification; you can only play it again and again, and hope it sinks in. But what if there was some way to tell the video "Can you tell me more about that?" or "What does that word mean?", which would link to another video that explains it! I imagine the ideal video-lecture system to resemble a web, rather than a linear set of videos, where students can move around the web in the pace and direction they want, learning what they need to know.

Several teachers I know who try to flip the classroom use a Wiki or a Moodle page to accomplish this webbing. It is particularly useful if you tag the video files.
