This is an area that I presume is being studied? Each course should be analyzed second by second and interactive branching should be under control of the student. They should be able to halt the subject and ask for a breadkown of the concepts being covered at any moment in time and then ask for clarification if there is a weakness in an area. The tools to do this for the course creators are what is key here.
I invite you to examine the Online Academy thoroughly, because this is exactly what it does.

The Online Academy - How it Works

EDIT:
Sorry I missed your specific question...

"This is an area that I presume is being studied?"

Yes, my wife has spent much of her adult life studying it, and the Online Academy is one of the results.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
