For an offline version, would you be allowed to pack up the videos into a local directory?
When I look at Android apps, I see multiple ones that provide indexes into KA. I don't see any actual study material nor (what I was really hoping for) KA-in-a-app. It would be really cool if there were apps (or TW's) with KA quizzes for either offline study or (if that's not possible) study on mobile devices. I can imagine TW with hide/reveal for answers.
