I like the UI, how I navigate to the subjects but the videos aren't playing on my iPad. Another suggestion would be to allow people to setup different students so I can share the iPad with my kids (or teachers can have one in a classroom and share with many students).

Great start, please let us know as you update it.

Yes, the YouTube videos are behaving weird on the iPad. They work on iPhone and Android ok though.

If I understand your suggestion correctly, the app should allow for setting up of a customized curriculum?

Looks very nice. I take it you must be using jQuery Mobile or something along those lines? (Minor problem I've encountered - for some reason, I can't land on your homepage from Safari Version 5.0.3 (6533.19.4) on OS X 10.6.5.)

Same problem here, OSX-Safari thinks it's a download of some sort. The page never opens. You should fix this ASAP.

Page loads on OSX-Chrome though.

Agreed. But it does loads on Chrome.

Yeah, let me create users and when you open the app, pick a user to start watching videos with then record which videos they've watched so you can keep track of where you're at.
