The Khan Academy Takeover: Inside the New Classroom Revolution

See on Scoop.it – M-learning, E-Learning, and Technical Communications

Danielle M. Villegas‘s insight:

This is a really good article about the Khan Academy and its growth in the past year. I’ve been an advocate of this system–and similar systems–for a long time. I’ve benefitted from online learning like this. I remember in my grad school classes instances when professors would create videos similar to Khan Academy videos, and I would stop and rewind concepts many times, and watch over and over many times until I understood.

It’ll be interesting to see how Khan Academy continues to create a standard for other online and mobile options for learning.
