EDUCATION COMPANY

Khan Academy is a non-profit educational organization created in September 2006 by educator Salman Khan to provide "a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere." Wikipedia. 

We can learn anything by going to the website of Khan Academy.Teachers, students and parents have been increasing their knowledge from this website for many years.

All resources are available for free to anyone around the world. By 2013, they were used by about 10 million students per month. Khan Academy's micro lectures have been watched over 468 million times.

HISTORY

The founder of the organization, Salman Khan was born and raised in New , Louisiana, United States. After earning three degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (a BS in mathematics, a M.Sc. in electrical engineering and computer science, and an MEng in electrical engineering and computer science) he pursued an MBA from Harvard Business School.

COURSES

Khan Academy has eclipsed MIT's  OpenCourseWare ACADEMY in terms of videos viewed. Its YouTube channel has more than 458 million total views, compared to MIT's 67 million. It also has more than twice as many subscribers, with 2,089,001. Khan Academy currently provides various levels of mathematics courses, and Salman Khan has stated that with the help of teachers, tutors and experts, Khan Academy now has topics beyond just math, such as physics, chemistry, finance, computer science, biology, art history and more.


Khan Academy also provides a web-based exercise system that generates problems for students based on skill level and performance. The exercise software is available as open source under the MIT license. Khan believes his academy points an opportunity to overhaul the traditional classroom by using software to create tests, grade assignments, highlight the challenges of certain students, and encourage those doing well to help struggling classmates. The tutorials are touted as helpful because, among other factors, they can be paused by students, while a classroom lecture cannot be.
