Dear Shalom,
The backbone of general studies asynchronous blended programs is Common Core. Common Core guides scope and sequence and, probably more importantly, enables each lesson/exercise/assessment to be mapped to a standard. This results in immediate, accurate, and meaningful feedback to the student and teacher.
This educational model is fundamentally different. The videos, exercises, and games are strategies to reach the Common Core standard. Synchronous programs in contrast, basically use the classroom educational model, with adjustments (technology, animation), but the familiar feel of the lesson driven classroom remains. Developing asynchronous programs takes longer and requires a more sophisticated back-end than synchronous programs.
Mekorot Learning is in the process of developing such a system to teach TaNaCh literacy based on the frequency of shorashim in TaNaCh.
