Idea: Custom Course

Im a teacher in the UK and creating a custom course would be ideal for my classroom as it would mean that they course that the students are doing in lessons matches what they are doing on Khan Academy.

My standards don't align with the Khan Academy units. The KA units often have 60+ topics within them. I'd love to be able to form my own units by picking out the existing KA topic strands I need. This will also give the students a feeling of completeness, instead of have 5/40 in one KA unit and 12/35 on a different unit, etc.

I like this idea because I could design a course that is equivalent to my curriculum. This way I can progress faster then my class or catch up due to unforeseen circumstances. 

I will submit a similar idea but for generating custom practice tests for entrance exams, in my case for high school placement.

That would be helpful once I began to understand how to use this site to its full potential.  I would really like to be learning three things at once like World History, Biology, and Geometry so it's all mixed up so I don't know what to expect.  

I am doing algebra in the morning and calculus at night or vice versa, if I do complicated sums while im fresh eyed meaning not drowsy, how does anyone think that sounds a better way?

I would love if KA could do this! I am currently taking a bio-chemistry course and am left to searching the entire site for the video lectures that match my course's curriculum best. I know KA has most if not all of the lecture videos I would need but they're either not in the same course or do not parallel my class's topics at all. For example, I can find most of the videos I need in the biology course but I also discovered topics I need in the health and medicine course. I wouldn't mind spending the time looking up and creating a KA course that would align with my bio-chem class but I only want to have to do the search once - not have to look it up every time I come onto the site or have to leave a billion tabs open. I personally wouldn't need the quizzes or tests either (although they would be helpful), just a way to make my own video playlist would be great.

I am a teacher and this feature would safe me a lot of time. I am customizing anyways, but I need to use messy  workarounds, and therefore the dashboard for the pupils scores is not usable for me.

The new feature to add custom units to a course, is cool, but it still leaves a lot of potential. If we really could choose the assignments, this would boost the possibilities to customize.
