I am working on an educational related project.
Pretty much what I do is have traditional textbook type materials for students to read. I also have the same materials in a visual interactive type lecture that basically explains/shows how to do something followed by some sort of interactive exercise where the student can apply the previously taught materials. The interactive exercises also act as a way to teach material as well. By analyzing how the student interacts with the exercise I can determine how well they understand the lesson. Nothing is locked in. If students don't want to read the textbook then they don't have to. Likewise, if students don't want to listen to the lectures then they don't have to either they can skip to the exercises.
After learning about 10 of these lessons that compose the chapter they can take a skills quiz to see how well they know the material. I intentionally make all the skill quizzes extra hard just to make sure students know the material before progressing to the next chapter.
If you have ever used codecademy then it is very similar. The only difference is my project is focused on entire college courses. If you took MIT OCW and combined it with codecademy then that is basically what I am working on. I am combining the formal structure of a college course with the technological innovation seen in codecademy.
