I'm wondering why they didn't try and buy tablo.com?

#14Looks great. One comment on your marketing copy:
"Students can watch Tablo lessons at home. No need to lecture in the classroom."
I'm not a teacher, but I imagine some portion of them would be offended by the "no need to lecture" bit. I know exactly what you mean, having watched the Khan Academy TED talk, but it might not come off the way you meant it to.

#15I've been creating videos for my mathematics students for a long time. I've used Camtasia and Captivate. The problem is that I exported all these videos to Flash and didn't worry about the dimensions of the videos.
Now it appears that Flash is dying. I'm now using Youtube. Youtube will make sure that its videos will be playable on every device. My hesitation in using your site is what happens if the site gets shutdown? Do I lose the videos? Will they be in a format that can be exported to another service? Is there a self hosting option? I couldn't tell from the main page and didn't sign up for an account.

Export to video will be released soon.

#17The audio quality on the video could be better. I'd also lazy load the video after all the other assets have loaded. Just give it an image of the video before it loads.

You're right. Do you have any other suggestions?
Unilateral information exchange doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

We're working on finding an appropriate level of compression for the audio.

It can be a great supplement/refresher of what happened in the classroom.
Great resource for absent students.
