If I may borrow form the young folks, "OMG!" I just saw this and thought the same thing. In the past, I've done "pre lectures" for my Human Growth and Development Course using Jing.

In thinking of how to apply the Khan Academy model I could also do the post lectures but I would need to devise a way to make sure they viewed them.
