oh man a science exercise software would be awesome. i've currently mastered arithmetic and on my way to algebra but i would like to dedicate some time on other subjects.
Im 20 years old, and math has never been my strong suit, a combination of mediocre teachers, and my own disinterest, left my overall knowledge of Mathematics so-so as best, and then I discovered Khan Academy. I had entertained the idea of becoming an engineer, but I thought I was too stupid to ever, accomplish anything like that, now I know that it is possible, I know I must sound extremely overdramatic, but Im just so happy. Thank you KA, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU :)
I am a student and I had a hard time with (dont laugh at me) multiplying and dividing fractions. This program helped me master that and loads of other topics, and I love it! It is a great alternative to IXL, which my school uses. Thank you Khan Academy! Thank you so much!
Wow! This is amazing! I am a mom to a 5 yo little boy with autism and I am researching ways to help him in school because he's not ready to be fully mainstreamed yet but has the math ability of an 8 yo child! A friend told me about Khan Academy and I'm looking into seeing if this will be able to help him in his class... I'm thinking it might be part of our solution to help him.
This is great and the way of future education!! I'm 32 now but I will go back and brush up on my highschool education using this. . .especially in those subjects I didn't take in highschool. Just wish I had this tool when I was in highschool, would have made life SO much easier. I had a lot of trouble following lectures. . I'm a visual self-learner. . that teaching method did not suit me.
Khan academy seems to be helping out. So much better than high school. There should be more lessons though. I hope they will cover up more advanced materials.
(Part 2 of 2) * The type of mistake a student made when choosing a wrong answer; e.g., did he forget to square the distance, did she apply kinetic energy conservation instead of momentum conservation, did he forget that the forces were in opposite directions, did she confuse force of friction with coefficient of friction, etc.
* software that anticipates and recognizes those common mistakes (like all great teachers do) and gives the students immediate, tailored feedback during the exercise
(Part 1 of 2) I find most of this dashboard info useless, like knowing how many times a student rewound the movie, how many times she paused it, or how long he spent on a module. Those times could be affected by distractions from family, self-imposed distractions like facebook and texting, etc.
Feedback I would find WAY MORE useful:
* How many times a student attempted the same problem
* The student’s answer history to each problem; i.e, what the student’s wrong answers were
@ksr1219 Our minds crave "good" things and hate "bad" thing. Example: Suppose you were playing a game. No matter how good the game would be. Without the challanges and the poerks and guns that you unlock, keeps you more intested. I know studoig isn't the best medium to love but... If you just let yourself imgaine that these badges are unlocks you are earning for unloking new level. You will be surpriesd of how easily your brain will belive it. :)
@ksr1219 i understand y u would say that. But if you really imtimate yourslef and act like the badge is some type of a trophy you are earning. I think that would really make you a more professicant learner. Ever played mw2? Act like the badge is a fkin nuke.
this is VERY BAD design, someone fluent in math like a high school student would not waste time starting with simple addition... when he needs to learn integration and derivatives and would like practice problems with those instead
@Fatalsh0ts Students aren't required to start with addition. Someone who needs to review calculus can jump right to limit problems. Although, I agree that the recommendation system could be improved. I just gained proficiency in the "Pythagorean Theorem 2" module and now it's simultaneously encouraging me to take basic addition and Trigonometry.
Awesome! I would only supress behaviorism which is animal training. Badges like grades turn learning into an obstacle between the student and the prize. I couldn't care less for badges. You have me motivated with no need for extrinsic rewards. The reward is your remarkable work and the fact that I can learn with no need of the artificial dependency of a teacher.
I think the behaviourism aproach to some parts of math is excellent! But you still need a teacher for a more philosophical aproach to any subject... This is why khan academy is a great help, and even a great idea for autonomus learning
1st: Personal and government donations 2 different animals. Any way, instead of a long dragged out back and forth "your momma" kind of issue, I want to say: My personal thought about what he offers is this: I cannot WAIT to get my kids involved in this! I saw CBS falling over him on TV when it originally aired, I (first thought) oh great... but then when I found out that it started because of his sister I thought... hey maybe this is good... I remembered the name and started looking at it.
Looks FANTASTIC. No problem with the concepts on MOST and I'm really counting on this to really do wonders. Since then, locally, there has been an uprising of union pawns demanding money and holier than thou treatment and insisting that people should have to deal with less so that they can have more. All the while, reports one after the other, show how our kids, in short, are becoming retards in regards to their techniques. Obviously, something different has to happen.
The public schools are insistent on well roundedness at the sacrifice of denying that the basics are down pat first. Yes "enrichment" is important but IMO not at the sacrifice of losing the child from the basics. There are private schools but the best ones that ensure that the basics will be down pat, you lose the enrichment of the arts. So do you want an educated dry kid or an "explorative" young adult that has to spend the first 2-4 years in college to struggle in math, reading and writing?
Or worse they just drop out or join the armed services (not that serving your country is bad, its the reasons WHY you want to go). Also have you seen the news lately? Competition is FIERCE!!! And you want them to wait more years to compete at the same level as peers who managed to get everything the first time? Shockingly, survival of the fittest is at play and Title I is a joke to these struggling kids.
The Title I teachers are lost, confused and spend more time playing Assistant Teacher than helping the child individually. The longer you wait for them to catch up to the rest, its too late. their done. By the time you accept that your kid is struggling, you are already losing. This is a parents PANIC session if they give a crap about their education. I assume its the reason why most of you are even on here reading this stuff in the first place.
Now that said. Personal donations, fantastic. Grant money and state funded and federal funded? I can smell the toxicness of public education oozing in this WORK OF ART. I hate the thought of it. Period. You still dont agree? Well that's mine and the opinion of millions of other tax payers thoughts. Yes, he may make good use of it, but on a state and federal leash? Nope sorry. I'd be afraid that it'll be doomed like all the other funded disasters before it.
People will pay as will I an education idea/concept that ACTUALLY works. And an enviornment like KHAN's ACADEMY may be just that. But I cannot help but be concerned about federal and state involvement if he starts taking money from them. So with that, sorry if it upsets people but I just wish more people saw the concerns that I have and not just have a blind eye and assume everything will fall into place.
Mr. Considerate? Oh sarcasm, right. Because Its evil to question whether state or federal money is really needed for education when people are able to provide it through people like him. You didn't freak out when I said I thought it was interesting, you didn't ever criticize that I though he was ingenious, BUT the moment I questioned if it was right for him to receive federal or state money, it results in childish name calling. Not a very hearty constitution. Personal donation is ok2me BTW.
The khanakademy website requires google or facebook login to get full functionality. ... I always wanted to think that "free education" doesn't only mean "without a price tag" but also free as in freedom. Perhaps someone should make a video on rising privacy problems (in which google and facebook play major part) FOR khanacademy.
Interesting stuff, too bad instead of an ingenious person who took it upon himself with volunteers, its turning into a grant fed monster. Now all I hear is that so and so dumped into Khan University X dollars. It would have been inspiring if he never took a dollar. Now its just another union monster in the making. But then again, its based in California so whats so shocking about that. Come on for once cant you guys make something for the common good and not get a paycheck from it?!
@avenqer Ok Mr Considerate how does he feed himself... through the goodwill of his heart???!!!!! You must be living in lalaland. And besides he's not asking for it!! People are generously donating!
This concept gives me the 'space' I need to learn. For a brain damaged 40 yr old father of 7 that left home at 13, the Khan Academy is a liberating force, and a most illuminating beacon.
I agree!!! Nobel Prize all the way!!!! It makes me want to quit my career and come work for you! Also, I would love to see collaboration with RSAnimate for the tutorial videos! I look forward to watching this evolve and change the lives of everyone on this planet!
...Or you could make the process even quicker and more data driven by quality controlling volunteer questions and randomizing the volunteer video/teaching submissions to students, and then just keep the best performing video/teaching submissions according to how they impact progress on the question component.
I wish we had this for medical school level courses. Perhaps you could scale up your education tree faster if you had volunteer specialists (in their fields) submit videos and problems to you? And then your team could focus on quality control instead on primary content generation?
I think the badge system was a great idea as well because despite the fact that I am 15 years old, i happen to be an RPG fan so hey, what's a few badges as motivation? :D
oh me to now I will not only use it to dust off my math skills for college I will definitely use this for my class room and will start my Girl Scouts using this next month
You are an inspiration. In a world where people ask "what's in it for them", you have done something selfless for the betterment of the next generation.
@Hudstahh93xoxo it's still being built, he plans to put all subjects on the software, for now it's just math. hopefully with more funding, this project can move along faster :D
Man, your'e a genius. I have tried to imagine ways to use software for improving our outdated education system and you already have a lot of this realized!
I love your vids and I was working with the past versions of your software. Loved the happy faces. badges seem better.
Will passing a node at one point (with 10 in a row) automatically give proficiency in the base levels? If I pass quantum physics...do I really need to complete my multiplication class?
I always had ideas of merging video games/achievements with learning and education; you're bringing it to life...
Add more subject and detail to the subjects and maybe more incentive for the student to get those medals or earn the achievements, like maybe on the forums it shows some title or something...
Omg, I always dreamed of something like this. I'm actually becoming a programmer and was planing to make something like this, lol. I can see this replacing school teachers in the future.
Holy Schmoly! If this doesn't revolutionize education I don't know if anything could. Keeping track of the progress in such a detailed way is simply not possible without this or similar software, not for a teacher nor the student him/herself. This is just amazing.
Assessment looks good. But I could think of many ways it could try to help get a student unstuck beyond watching the video again or calling on a teacher. 1: if the student is stuck: Math notation should be explained or expanded in plain English, as should the steps taken. 2: Once a student gets past being stuck, they should be invited to share how they got past the block, so that KA can learn from it and improve the lessons or hints, and to help others. Hope to see KA keep improving!
.... what's truly effective. Perhaps it would be possible to remove some of the granularity of the system, but it would be hard to retain all of the benefits. Would you feel better as the student if you didn't know about this part? Lol... with the right teacher, hopefully transparency can help build trust with the student"... BLah blah blah
@DrFlox, the teacher knows when you turn in traditional assignments, what grades you get, if you finish your exams early or are working up until the last minute, they can tell if you take notes or are texting all day... with this kind of system they need a way to measure progress so that they can help when appropriate. Only the worst of teachers would abuse this privilege.
I would argue it takes a lot of stress out of learning, maybe not all of it can be removed, it's a balance as to what's t
As a student I would feel quite stressed knowing that the teacher can watch my every move... I mean, is it really necessary that he can see that the student worked on a particular module at 8PM for 45:20min? Big Brother.....
this is an astonishing move on behalf of the Khan Academy. To give people the chance to increase their academic knowledge with zero-cost, high quality lessons and - now - exercise software to help individuals of any level is -for lack of a better word- incredible. Thanks for all the hard work, Sal.
I agree with eddieschod. Google and Facebook logins for the most part render the practice problems and metrics inaccessible within the school. If the students could log in with just a fake username and password and a shared teacher email (for lost passwords etc.) you would open your site to thousands of additional classrooms.
An incredible concept! However, if the motivation is based on extrinsic rewards such as points/merits, what will then keep the students from comparing themselves to others in terms of achievements?Wouldn't that then be just like a normal post-exam situation where students compare their grades? And couldn't that, in turn, lead to actual demotivation of the student?
I'm only speculating, since studies has found out that too much positive reinforcement can have a negative effect on performance.
@Jonnemanne Khan Academy designer here - In practice we don't see this happening a lot. First, the profile information is private, so you can't choose to compare yourself to me. I would have to let you. Second, extrinsic rewards can have a negative impact on motivation if the task you are being asked to do is inherently interesting or creative. That's true for some kinds of math and not others *for most people*. We are aware of this and constantly monitoring and adjusting accordingly.
@postnormal Awesome! Thanks for a quick reply. :) Yes, I see your points now. I did not mean to question your effectiveness in any way, but was just wondering what might happen in a classroom setting. Once again, what you are doing is simply phenomenal. Keep up the good work!
@Jonnemanne Not at all. Questions like this are good, and it's important for us to be thinking about them. I am always happy to take this kind of question because it means that you (the users/supporters) want us to succeed. Keep it coming :)
@postnormal I'm curious what age group you are running these trials with? I ask because the demotivational elements that occur are more likely to affect younger students. Even if you can't see my score, I can still brag about it and show off to others. Leading to a demotivational effect on those who aren't 'winning'.
Though on the plus side, one can bump one's points to a degree just by spending raw -time- on something. Even if you aren't the best at it.
@iriswaters We are working closely with groups of 5th and 7th graders. Profiles show a much more detailed picture of progress than simply points, and students seem to be much more interested in their own progress right now (they've been using it daily for about 2.5 months). I am curious what study your referring to that shows how these effects change based on age. Would love to read it. Could be very helpful.

I think the badge system was a great idea as well because despite the fact that I am 15 years old, i happen to be an RPG fan so hey, what's a few badges as motivation? :D

I always had ideas of merging video games/achievements with learning and education; you're bringing it to life...
Add more subject and detail to the subjects and maybe more incentive for the student to get those medals or earn the achievements, like maybe on the forums it shows some title or something...

Assessment looks good. But I could think of many ways it could try to help get a student unstuck beyond watching the video again or calling on a teacher. 1: if the student is stuck: Math notation should be explained or expanded in plain English, as should the steps taken. 2: Once a student gets past being stuck, they should be invited to share how they got past the block, so that KA can learn from it and improve the lessons or hints, and to help others. Hope to see KA keep improving!

.... what's truly effective. Perhaps it would be possible to remove some of the granularity of the system, but it would be hard to retain all of the benefits. Would you feel better as the student if you didn't know about this part? Lol... with the right teacher, hopefully transparency can help build trust with the student"... BLah blah blah
legsing 1 year ago
@DrFlox, the teacher knows when you turn in traditional assignments, what grades you get, if you finish your exams early or are working up until the last minute, they can tell if you take notes or are texting all day... with this kind of system they need a way to measure progress so that they can help when appropriate. Only the worst of teachers would abuse this privilege.
I would argue it takes a lot of stress out of learning, maybe not all of it can be removed, it's a balance as to what's t

I agree with eddieschod. Google and Facebook logins for the most part render the practice problems and metrics inaccessible within the school. If the students could log in with just a fake username and password and a shared teacher email (for lost passwords etc.) you would open your site to thousands of additional classrooms.

Soldier957 1 year ago
An incredible concept! However, if the motivation is based on extrinsic rewards such as points/merits, what will then keep the students from comparing themselves to others in terms of achievements?Wouldn't that then be just like a normal post-exam situation where students compare their grades? And couldn't that, in turn, lead to actual demotivation of the student?
I'm only speculating, since studies has found out that too much positive reinforcement can have a negative effect on performance.
Jonnemanne 1 year ago
@Jonnemanne Khan Academy designer here - In practice we don't see this happening a lot. First, the profile information is private, so you can't choose to compare yourself to me. I would have to let you. Second, extrinsic rewards can have a negative impact on motivation if the task you are being asked to do is inherently interesting or creative. That's true for some kinds of math and not others *for most people*. We are aware of this and constantly monitoring and adjusting accordingly.

postnormal 1 year ago
@postnormal I'm curious what age group you are running these trials with? I ask because the demotivational elements that occur are more likely to affect younger students. Even if you can't see my score, I can still brag about it and show off to others. Leading to a demotivational effect on those who aren't 'winning'.
Though on the plus side, one can bump one's points to a degree just by spending raw -time- on something. Even if you aren't the best at it.
iriswaters 1 year ago
@iriswaters We are working closely with groups of 5th and 7th graders. Profiles show a much more detailed picture of progress than simply points, and students seem to be much more interested in their own progress right now (they've been using it daily for about 2.5 months). I am curious what study your referring to that shows how these effects change based on age. Would love to read it. Could be very helpful.
