Skinner and Khan

For those of you who don't know a thing about B.F. Skinner's teaching machines, click to learn more. For those of you that don't know about Khan Academy, click to learn more.

For those of you that, through whatever means, do know about Skinner and Khan, aren't the parallels crazy? Very structured presentation, order and hierarchy of knowledge, teachers acting as facilitators and oversight instead of being in the trenches. Pandemonium.
