That structure is more or less what we're doing with our iPad app, Understudy, for SICP. If someone signs up for SICP, we pair them with another user a bit ahead, to talk to once a week. Once they're a ways in, they start leading another user just starting out.

[Obvious disclaimer - I work on this. It was posted to HN a few weeks ago.]
- neil_s 12y agoWish this was available on the Web. I need this to make me actually finish a Udacity/Coursera course rather than keeping on dropping them halfway through.
- d23 12y agoThis is a really fucking cool idea and I hope it works out for you. It's been my opinion for a while now that something like apprenticeship should have a higher weight in the educational experience. And $5/mo is chump change if your app actually works like it seems it has the potential to.
- kenferry 12y agoThanks! It seems to be working quite well so far, but we're still very small, of course.
