Your approach to teaching a curriculum that is custom tailored to an individual's goals is one of those things that makes so much sense in retrospect, but at the same time an approach I have never seen discussed.

Here we have this vast repository of most the world's knowledge, all indexable and cross-referencable, and for the first time in history we have the chance to deliver content in a highly personalized way. All we're missing is that last 10% - a way to aggregate and properly present that data.



I suspect that last 10% will be as easy as writing the last 10% of a software project.

Personally, I don't see any software solution here. It's going to have to be teaching by teachers, just organized differently. I'd be happy to be wrong.
