This is interesting but requires more work on the incentives that will make the system function and be sustainable.

Will students be paying at the early stages?

Are there subject areas that haven't been served well by traditional education as well as currently-available online educational sources?

What sort of curriculum is this a perfect fit for?

So I'm looking at something like this (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/open-syllabus-bountyfund-70036) to aggregate content into something similar to a Curriculum that would allow the user to get the equivilent of a college course, complete with guidelines and schedules instead of just giving you the firehose of data. One of the ways of gathering the data is a Wiki, so I was thinking about if it was possible to develop a Wiki Crawler that gave out microbits or litecoins every time a significant and helpful edit was made to a page. YMMV on helpful, but it should probably have some sort of guidelines to prevent edit spam for run and profit.
