Khan Academy : Redefining Education!!
KHAN ACADEMY :- A free World class education for anyone anywhere.
In this age of technological revolution the type of education khan academy is trying to provide is the the appropriate future of education. providing education. With the stated mission of "providing a high quality education to anyone, anywhere", the website supplies a free online collection of more than 3,200 micro lectures via video tutorials stored on YouTube teaching mathematics, history etc. In Fact KHAN ACADEMY revolutionized the way education is delivered into a much effective and efficient way. There is no scope of missing any particular lecture as everything is stored in the digital archive. Also the student to teacher ratio is 100% and no student have their doubt suppressed.
Its YouTube channel has over 150 million total views, compared to MIT's 38 million. It also has twice as many subscribers, at more than 320,000. What makes it special is actually the innovative methodology of Mr Salman Khan in capturing different ideas and videos and using them in explaining vital concepts. The Khan Academy started with Khan remotely tutoring one of his cousins interactively using Yahoo Doodle images. Based on feedback from his cousin, additional cousins began to take advantage of the interactive, remote tutoring. In order to make better use of his and their time, Khan transitioned to making YouTube video tutorials.While all videos continue to be hosted on Khan Academy's YouTube channel, they also are available through Khan Academy's own website, which also contains many other features such as progress tracking, practice exercises, and a variety of tools for teachers in public schools.
This gradually will make the student self sufficient. I'm just going to say it that probably Khan Academy is the best thing or u may say revolution that happened in educational field since Socrates!
