I've been asking myself for a while what the future of learning / reading / media is, and I can find very few good examples of truly novel thought.
It appears that most of the current ideas revolve about making electronically accessible that which already exists IRL. There are eBook for Books, OpenCourseWare for College Courses, and Khan Academy for High School - but it seems like very few people are trying to fundamentally change the: 1 to N model of school.
I'm most inspired by Bret Victor of http://WorryDream.com and his KillMath and similar visualizations / interaction designs. This seems like the best attempt I've seen thus far for truly novel learning tools that aren't just copies of standard materials.
I wanted to see if anyone else shares this viewpoint and if there are any other resources I should be looking at.
