I really like the idea, because I feel like having these things pushed to my e-mail will cause me to actually engage with them more than me just checking into them at my leisure.
A few ideas:
An actual account page, where a user can manage their subscriptions. The user should have full CRUD capabilities for their subscriptions...
(1) I should be able to see all the courses associated with my e-mail (in case I forget what I've subscribed to).
(2) I should be able to change the start date of a subscription that hasn't started sending yet.
(3) I should be able to pause the e-mails for a course that's already started and resume at a later date.
(4) I should be able to delete / stop receiving e-mails from a course if I don't like it.
I'd also like to set up completion rules. Let's say I want to start Chinese II after I've finished with Chinese I. The system should allow me to say "Start the e-mails from Course X after Course Y has finished".
