<p>Founded in 2006, The Khan Academy, (www.khanacademy.org), created by young entrepreneur Salman Khan, is considered to be a good resource of quality education to anyone, anywhere. The website offers students the chance to grasp classroom concepts by watching short video clips of 10-20 minute duration each. </p>.<p>The listed categories are:<br /><br />Arithmetic<br />Pre-Algebra<br />Algebra I<br />Algebra II<br />Geometry<br />Chemistry<br />Brain Teasers<br />Current Economics<br />Banking and Money<br />Venture Capital and Capital Markets<br />Finance<br />Evaluation and Investing<br />Credit Crisis<br />Biology<br />Trignometry<br />Precalculus<br />Statistics<br />Probability<br />Calculus<br />Differential Equations<br />History<br />Linear Algebra<br />Physics<br />SAT <br />GMAT preparation<br /><br />The content is provided by universities and institutes in the form of web videos. The content is largely based on university-level topics. However, students who need help with a specific concept have no direct way of finding it </p>.<p>on the website. The website only offers one-way interaction. <br /><br />However, the website has many things going for it. For one, it provides an exhaustive collection of instruction material, which is presented in digestible 10-20 minute packages. The videos are supplemented by a software that dynamically generates exercises and captures data on student usage and progress. <br /><br />The videos, captured using SmoothDraw, present the content in a way “akin to sitting next to someone and working out a problem on a sheet of paper”. This delivery format comes off as an easy-learning medium. It is not, in the least way, daunting. <br /><br />Daniel Stern, founder of UConnect.org, says: “These videos give students so much more than a technical proficiency in maths and physics (although they do this quite well); they create a love for mathematics and learning generally. And that is priceless.” </p>
