Does Khan Academy have documented instances where they've replaced a teacher in the classroom with videos? From my understanding, KA currently works well as a supplement to traditional classroom education instead of simply replacing it.

I was talking about khan as an example. if you want totaly automated self learning , look for the "hole in the wall" education experiments. they sucseeded.

But i think khan academy can make the teacher job much easier, so maybe even no so good teacher can achieve good results.
