What is being explained must be made relevant to the person consuming it. Subjects should be linked together rather than artificially partitioned.
>> Aldous Huxley's utopian vision in Island featured a school that teaches a subject called 'Bridge-building', which is the study of how all the other subjects fit into each other. Bucky's ideas of comprehensive thinking and synergy are similar.
Facilities - environment is very important to education. I think there are studies linking things like air quality, brightness, and the presence of natural elements (potted plants etc.) to learning. Find references.

Some things can be learned theoretically (e.g. subjects currently taught in schools). These can be done by the open-content learning hub described.
Other subjects require practical learning: cooking, dance or anything physical. Skill-acquisition is different from theoretical learning. Cannot be taught online.
Other thing, like meditation, require repeated experience, but are not exactly skills.
Hands-on learning. Getting students to devise and undertake projects like designing and creating a new invention, social entrepreneurship. Teaches actual life skills of organization and getting-shit-done.
