I would do these myself, but I don't know all of the things (yet).

Any takers? Ether?

This sounds quite a bit like something I'm trying to put together for my junior project at WPI. Details, and approval, are yet to be determined, but stay tuned...

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.
