Netflix + Online Education = shiveringly, behemothly cool

Looks like the Netflix founder, Reed Hastings is getting into taking a cloud-based approach to educational content.

Personally, it makes me shiver! This could be a game changer.

I got the chance to see Reed talk at a New Schools Venture Fund summit and anyone can tell that he’s passionate about education. And now let's hope that he cross-pollinates online learning with his Netflix technology and brain resources.

Here's a NY times blog that talks about it:

Do you have any more info? I’d love to hear more!!
