The goal of the Khan Academy (http://www.khanacademy.org or http://youtube.com/khanacademy ) is to use technology to provide a free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere. It is currently a library of 1176 videos on YouTube (and mirrored elsewhere) covering everything from basic arithmetic to advanced calculus, chemistry, economics and biology. The videos are supplemented by software that dynamically generates exercises and captures data on student usage and progress.
The video library has been profiled on CNN and USA Today and is being used by over 80,000 students (and growing 10-20% per month). The content is also being distributed on off-line servers in Africa, India and Latin America by partner organizations. All of the videos and software have been produced by Salman Khan who is a recently announced Microsoft Tech Award Laureate in Education.
