Learning from the Khan Academy

The Khan Academy is a remarkable project - over 1400 videos and growing, one guy teaching on subjects like math, chemistry, biology, history, finance, economics, etc. It's a tremendous resource from a very good teacher, amplified by technology.

I checked a few videos on topics I'm reasonably good at, and a few where I personally struggle, and was impressed in both areas.

This would be an excellent resource for:
  • Parents helping their kids learn a tough subject
  • Teens capable of self-directed learning to tackle a subject
  • Adults who need a refresher on a topic
  • Adults who never really learned XYZ and would like to now


P.S. I wonder if someone could create a corresponding library of videos for Christian instruction?
