Khan Academy

[Fletcher]

Since I'm brushing up on my science lately, the BBC Click show presented the Khan Academy as a new form of educational tool that is picking up in popularity across a few countries, including America where education budgets are under pressure.

At the time of writing, the Khan Academy has 162,092,289 lessons delivered via YouTube, that is... a lot.

I watched a few videos and I like his style of teaching, its all unscripted and greatly in-depth but not to the point you go "bwuh?"

Oh, and it keeps track of the stuff you watched, quizzes you and uses 'gamification' to encourage more learning! That is a major plus my end.

Here is the link:

I know some are fresh from exams, but sod it.

This is free, completely, and teachers can even track their students records and achievements which is nice.

Wish it had programming...

EDIT: Here is the Click video:
