Yes! Thought of this as well. To add what I would love to see is:

So starting out with this comic: http://matt.might.net/articles/phd-school-in-pictures/

I think a open education platform where it kind of plots out the things like in comic. So you could navigate around this circle and see where your knowledge is at for certain subjects (closer to edge of the circle is getting to phd knowledge).

What you could also do is show interconnected things. Say you are trying to learn some math subjects but you know very advanced music theory (or whatever). Knowing how to explain certain topics to someone that has other knowledge, or even showing other topics and how they make use of the math/whatever subjects you are studying.

I started on something like this, basically just going through a bunch of schools curriculum and putting it together with classes / books I could find. But I would love to explore this further.
