I think a lot is lost after the fact. Often things come to mind as they are brought up, that might be lost if the topic is discussed afterwards. Also, like in all instruction, the instructor is probably going to have to focus his/her efforts on those that are struggling the most. There is something natural about presenting to a group in a live format, and I think we could go overboard if we flip too much. I wouldn't much enjoy watching a video lecture on Dickens where I couldn't interact until the next day.Still, why not stream the lectures at home and then have the lively discussion in the classroom?

I agree. It's definitely going to be a struggle to find a balance when using this format with the humanities. Khan has assembled a pretty creative group, it will be interesting to see how they approach this.
