This isn't too cutting edge but it sounds like a great idea especially in comparison with VSD's Novanet credit makeup which is a joke.
 
Unlike an online course, the “E 2020” lab software uses a prerecorded teacher who appears on the student’s screen. In the classroom labs, a live certified teacher monitors and assists students when necessary.

“The students see and they hear a teacher,” said Gene Storz, president of Education 2020. “It has to be like a real class. Algebra is taught by an Algebra One teacher with an Algebra One textbook, whereas (typical) online classes are text-based or PowerPoint-based with some audio. It’s just a learning module. We emulate the classroom environment.”
