I have to thank you, because projects like his are exactly what I had in mind with my original post, but I had forgotten this man's name and work for months!
This is really interesting, thank you! I'm dreaming about followup then but for learning, with bite-sized text (or video?) plus opportunities to engage with the text, delivered to me (via email) on a regular basis so I don't have to remember to come back to it. But the future emails are contingent on my engagement so it's impossible to get behind. And it could use the anticipation of something new and exciting factor to keep me engaged. Really interesting to think about!
Also I'm thinking about The Little Schemer format and how it includes that engagement in the dialog and the frequent small opportunities to test your thinking.
How cool would it be to subscribe to a "book" and to get the next chapter I have to type out a brief reflection of what I've read so far? It would be up to me to decide how involved to make my "reflection" but it would be really cool to have that prompt.
I suppose blogs work in a similar way for people who read them as they come out and leave comments.

Definitely a lot to think about. This is fun! :)
