Khan Academy
Khan Academy is an American educational nonprofit organization founded in 2008 by Sal Khan. The organization provides free online learning resources for students and teachers worldwide.
The Khan Academy platform offers instructional videos, practice exercises, teaching tools, test preparation and assessment tests, across a range of subjects including mathematics, sciences, history, literature, economics, computer science. Lessons are typically delivered through short instructional videos paired with interactive practice activities.
Khan Academy is supported primarily through philanthropic donations, allowing its educational materials to remain freely available to users.
The origins of Khan Academy date to 2004, when Salman "Sal" Khan began tutoring a cousin in mathematics online using a service called Yahoo! Doodle Images. As additional relatives began using the lessons, Khan started recording instructional videos and publishing them on YouTube to make the material more widely accessible. Early tutorials were recorded on Khan's personal computer using drawing applications such as SmoothDraw and ArtRage, often with the aid of a Wacom tablet.
Public response, including coverage in USA Today, led Khan to incorporate Khan Academy as a nonprofit organization in 2008 and leave his job in finance to work on the project full time. The organization was established with the goal of providing free learning resources to students worldwide.
Khan Academy's lessons are primarily delivered through short instructional videos paired with interactive practice exercises and assessments. Studies have found that use of Khan Academy resources is associated with improved student academic performance.
In 2014, Khan Lab School, a laboratory school associated with Khan Academy and founded by Sal Khan, opened in Mountain View, California.
May-Li Khoe served as Vice President of Design at Khan Academy from 2014 to 2019, and contributed to the development of the platform's user experience and design strategy.
