Just thought I would add links to some of the sites referred to in the Khanvesation:

2 Hour Learning

https://2hourlearning.com/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_School

IXL is personalized learning:

Also to some articles on the subject I found. The Astral Codex Ten article, although it was not written by Scott, seems to be quite thorough.
