Distance learning and supplementation of education through outside resources is quickly becoming the standard for increasing the depth of educational materials available to classrooms. Faced with ever-increasing budget cuts, educators are looking toward resources such as Khan Academy to supplement the quality of materials available to students.
With 1,800 lessons and 24 million views, Sal Khan, has created a revolutionary method of learning that even Bill Gates himself uses for him and his children. Khan Academy is a free resource that anyone can use. It features individual profiles built to work toward educational goals in a variety of subjects to include biology, chemistry, physics, and math.
Instructors can establish “coach” profiles and connect with their students to measure student progress. These tools allow instructors to monitor students’ progress, much like an assessment, to have insight as to which areas students need instructors to hone in on. The non-for-profit’s founder, Sal Khan, seeks to simply bring quality information to people throughout the world.
