Шаблон:Infobox non-profit

Khan Academy is a non-profit[1] educational organization created in 2006 by educator Salman "Sal" Khan with the aim of providing a "free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere".[2] The organization produces short lectures in the form of YouTube videos.[3] In addition to micro lectures, the organization's website features practice exercises and tools for educators. All resources are available for free to anyone around the world. The main language of the website is English, but the content is also available in other languages.

"What's Inside of Blood", a Khan Academy video

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.[4] Drawings are now made with a Wacom tablet and before the free natural drawing application SmoothDraw, but now Sal Khan uses ArtRage and recorded with screen capture software from Camtasia Studio.[5]

All videos (hosted via YouTube) are available through Khan Academy's own website (khanacademy.org), which also contains many other features such as progress tracking, practice exercises,[6] and a variety of tools for teachers in public schools.[7] Logging into the site can be done via a Google or a Facebook account for those who do not want to create a separate Khan Academy account. The material can also be accessed through Khan Academy's own mobile applications,[8] which can be found free of charge in Google Play, App Store and Windows Store.

The videos show step-by-step doodles and diagrams on an electronic blackboard.[9][10] Not-for-profit groups have distributed offline versions of the videos to rural areas in Asia, Latin America, and Africa.[11][12][13]

Khan Academy also provides an adaptive web-based exercise system that generates problems for students based on skill and performance.[14][15] Khan believes his academy presents 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.[16] The tutorials are touted as helpful because, among other factors, they can be paused by students while classroom lectures can not.[17]

Методика

Khan Academy has been criticized because Salman Khan does not have a background in pedagogy.[18][19] Statements made in some videos have also been questioned.[20] In response to these criticisms, the organization has fixed errors in its videos, expanded its faculty and built a network of content specialists.[20] Others have presented data showing Khan videos are less effective than those of other publishers and that the concept of chalk on a blackboard is less engaging for students than other styles of video, such as cartoons.[21]

In a January 2016 interview, Khan defended the value of Khan Academy online lectures while acknowledging their limitations: "I think they're valuable, but I'd never say they somehow constitute a complete education."[22]

In 2010, Khan Academy introduced badges as part of a program to promote gamification of learning.[23][24] There are currently 6 main levels of badges, with hundreds of different badges in total.[25]

Services and vision

The major components of Khan Academy include:[26][27]

  • a personalized learning engine to help people track what they have learned and recommend what they can do next
  • a video library with over 9,000 videos in various topic areas.[26][28] These videos are licensed under a Creative Commons (BY-NC-SA) 3.0 license.[29]
  • automated exercises with continuous assessment. The exercise software is available as open source under the MIT License.[14]

  • In August 2015 Khan Academy partnered with Disney & Pixar Animation Studios to launch Pixar in a Box on Khan Academy. The goal is to show how academic concepts students learn in school are used to solve creative challenges in the making of Pixar films.[38]
