Awesome idea. I think it would be awesome if it had the additional ability of exporting my data into a form I could use to update other things like LinkedIn, my paper resume(.doc or .pdf?), and a website (html or even a widget type deal). I just had retyping and tracking. He's got the tracking down and if I was able to keep everything updated with it I would be willing to pay for it.
You make a fair point. However, what I was more trying to get at was the fact that a lot of students are learning for the test and forget 90% of what they learned after the test. My solution to this was to try and eliminate the topics unnecessary to their degree and interest (the ones they only learn for the test) to allow more time to take wider breadth of courses that interest them along with their major required course work. For instance, if I only need certain topics in chemistry to graduate instead of a full semester class, this would allow me, as an engineer for instance, take a class on Roman architecture if that is something that interests me. In this way you are still getting a breadth of knowledge but the knowledge your getting is determined by you as the student and not by some outside curriculum. Institutes like Brown University already offer programs that allow students more control over where they want to take their education. The problem is institutions like this are to far and few between.
