Khan Academy
Khan Academy's website aims to provide a personalized learning
experience, mainly built on the videos which are hosted on YouTube.
The website is meant to be used as a supplement to its videos,
because it includes other features such as progress tracking, practice
exercises, teaching tools. The material can also be accessed through
mobile applications.
The videos show a recording of drawings on an electronic blackboard,
which are similar to the style of a teacher giving a lecture. The
narrator describes each drawing and how they relate to the material
being taught. Nonprofit groups have distributed offline versions of the
videos to rural areas in Asia, Latin America, and Africa.Videos range
from all subjects covered in school and for all grades, Kindergarten to
High School.
