I agree that it is a promising paradigm. But, it is one implementation of
an "inverted classroom" -- the general idea has been around awhile. 

For a very interesting riposte on why current Kahn videos might not be that 
effective for science classes, see

This work came out of a PhD thesis in physics education. He appears to
have a lot of empirical work to back his claim.
