For every module of every subject there must be at least one person in the world who has a gift for making that subject interesting. Not just just interesting, but truly rivetting - and relevant to the audience.

We should record these peoples' material with their help. OK, it's simplistic but imagine if nearly everything that you learnt was as interesting as watching a David Attenborough nature documentary (you might only know of these if you are British!). Of course learning is a two way process and this material could easily be made interactive.

Other people have a gift for laying out textual information, diagrams, images, animations or games in ways that are optimised for other people to understand the concept in question. All these best people should be sought out and encouraged to contribute their material to open content educational projects.

Teachers at school could then use this content where appropriate and use their own skills to check it has been understood and to elaborate when individuals have questions.
