“If Isaac Newton had done YouTube videos on calculus, I wouldn’t have had to.”
Salman Khan during his TED Talk in Long Beach, California, March 2011
Backed significantly by – amongst others – Google and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Khan Academy has grown tremendously and currently offers over 4,000 lecture videos in 23 languages free of charge to anyone with access to the internet. Both Khan Academy and Salman himself have been featured in numerous media outlets. The TED talk outlining his vision of the future of education – explaining how Khan academy fits into that picture – is a subject he also covers in his excellent book: The One World Schoolhouse: Education Reimagined.
