What Is the Khan Academy & Why Is It Revolutionary?

Did you know that over 7 million people are taking at least one course online? Sal Khan got the ball rolling in 2006 when he founded the Khan Academy. If the image of a bustling quad come to mind, you're wrong because it's all online.

@@cookieflavoredoreo4685 I have always thought that Sal sounds very different in his older videos. In those videos he sounds like he has just got out of bed and is still kinda groggy, whereas in his newer videos he sounds super-enthusiastic.

One thing I really like about this guy is that he is so laidback - a lot of math teachers are so damn stiff and overly serious, whereas Sal Khan is relaxed and has a sense of humour.

[@latifa1186]

+Laurelindo Exactly I was going to recommend khan academy to people who don't speak english, but when I watched the translated versions of ka , I realized it's not at all the same. The teachers sound kind of bored and overbearing sometimes compared with Salman Khan. It's really a shame

I am 33. I was good in math in my primary school, but then bad in high school, various reasons. I always wanted to study Engineering and Science. Universities in my country have entrance exam's on High School level math, and are not easy. Do you think I will be able to get myself ready for university in math and physics just by using Khan Academy? I want to enrol, and do not want to waste any more time. I'd appreciate some opinions, thank you.

Pursue what you love, not for the money. We're taught the opposite; Pursue the money, fame, etc. Do what you love and you'll be a success. Re traditional schools, they are HISTORY, eventually online learning, virtual reality will replace traditional schools for most students Only those with physical challenges, and/or other special needs that require a physical person in the room, will utilize traditional schools. And in the case of testing, I anticipate testing facilities where homeschooled, online learners go to test, but that is about it. This will probably happen within 30 years.
