KhanAcademy began with Salman Khan tutoring his niece in Algebra via the utilization of a drawing tablet and a software. However, KhanAcademy has grown greatly within its first few years, with great funding from various sponsors, including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
KhanAcademy assists in the accessibility of education and places learning and the spread of ideas more in the hands of the student than that of the educator. This notion of a "flipped lesson" is an aspect that is greater supported with the increasing use of digital media as supplements to classroom lessons. The best thing about Khan Academy? It's absolutely FREE, truly committing to the assertion that #YouCanLearnAnything. |
KhanAcadamy has various subjects available for a learner. Subjects range from Math and Science to Computer Programming and Art History. Test prep lessons are also available, such as those for the SAT or the MCAT.

The microlectures in the form of YouTube videos are supplemented with exercises and tools to practice the concepts learned, when relevant.
