A map of knowledge, or a guided path through it.

AFAIK organizes knowledge into small "bricks" of about ten minutes each and shows how they connect on a visual map, so you can explore subjects and their prerequisites on your own. Learnr takes the opposite approach: you type what you want to learn and it builds a complete, guided course around your goal and skill level, with interactive practice, XP, streaks, and leaderboards to keep you learning every day.
