This will change the role of teachers, while enabling students in other countries or professionals or even amateurs with expertise to get involved with education. It takes a global village to educate a child and that's now possible.

Learner-centered education is quite different than learner-directed education, and not all subjects and contexts are applicable to the latter. Teachers will still be critical to successful education, but will need new skills to decentralize their "learning management" process.

I tried a couple of the podcasts, without knowing a word of Chinese. I was impressed with the instructional strategies that I recognized: a quick advanced organizer (e.g., this podcast tells how to take the train from A to B), immersion into the Chinese-language dialogue, a discussion (in English, but with Chinese) elaborating on and extending the topic. There were also two voices speaking Chinese, helping to refine a learner's ear. One was a native speaker, the other a Westerner with (so far as I could tell) a high level of fluency. All this in the free portion of the site, encouraging me as a potential customer to think that the for-fee material would be worth the investment.

This is a major change from traditional modes of production and consumption. The 3 points mentioned above (attention, community THEN business model) are a good recipe for new successes and innovation.
