I'm working on a project just like that. My MVP is going to be an entire course in an undergraduate college course. It will be the full course, nothing skipped or watered down like you see with most MOOCs these days. I am writing the textbook, study notes, practice problems (fully adaptive with analytics to help the student) and quizzes/exams. Everything is focused on the concept of "have you mastered this topic/skill/subject?". There is also going to be an interactive lecture system which basically works by the student watching some high-quality videos on the subject followed by doing practice problems or simulation exercises.
There is also more advanced stuff you can do with the concept like an intelligent tutoring system or adding in features to the lectures where students can ask the "teacher" questions in real time. I have already built a very basic prototype of it and it definitely works. Just imagine that. You're watching a lecture, learning some topic and then it just isn't clicking for you so you can ask a question immediately or ask for clarification on some subject. I am not talking about typing your question into some text box. I am talking about having a head set on where you can ask your question with your voice and then being able to get a response back that really solidifies the concept for you or makes it crystal clear.
This is all possible with existing technology. Nothing new needs to be invented, it simply needs to be built. Most MOOCs/online courses are heavily watered down because the workload required to build these types of systems is immense but I think the potential is huge in this area. From what I've seen, the young people definitely want to learn online, at their own pace and have access to high-quality learning platforms. I am also planning on offering the entire courses for free. Not really sure how I'll monetize it. Maybe donations?
