14. The student would be allowed access to a lesson per a schedule......

For example, a student would be allowed access to lessons dealing with decimals after spending a week or two dealing with fractions and passing the exam for that portion of the curriculum. While I was a student at Devry, I couldn't access week 6's coursework until after the end of week 5.

As for cheating, laptops have cameras, don't they? Perhaps it could be required that the student have the camera turned on during the test so that a proctor, if one was used, could randomly check the feed from all the cameras on test-taking laptops to see just who was taking the exam. Maybe the system would use some sort of optical/retina scan to verify that the person on the computer was in fact the student to which the computer was assigned. I don't know, I'm sure that industry would come up with a system that would make it more difficult to cheat.........

Is some student going to figure out how to get away with cheating on an exam? Of course, but by and large, most students would just take the test.

An advantage of this system would be uniformity. If Mrs. Thompson in the Bronx had a way of explaining to students how to manipulate fractions, a way that was easier to understand, then Mrs. Thompson's lecture could be video-taped and be made available to students across the country in a matter of weeks.
