In short its a complete learning tool which allows you track how your child is progressing, what are his weak areas, where he needs to stress more.
If you don't want to write any assesments and just watch videos you can just watch videos.
In the end its a complete package :P Which is still not complete. It has good very lectures from good professors. The lectures are simple to understand and yet they are profound.

I request every person who has earnest desire to learn quality topics please do use the site. Also please spread the word.
