Great idea, but I don't get it why those systems still require us to be at a computer. Today's technology allows us to learn anytime, but also anywhere.

Would be great to see an app like this for the iPhone / iPod Touch for example. I think you could achieve the same things with those tools and make it even more appealing to people. That would truly make it a 'mobile' learning experience.

The video sounds and looks like an effective material to learn a new language. It is nowadays a very important need to know certain foreign languages if it happens to live in some other country. There are also language schools in various countries serving this purpose.
Thanks for sharing that incredible list of 150 related sites.

Shan writes "DocVerse will literally change the way you think about working with other people on your documents.
