'You determine your own pace. And you don’t go to the next level until you’ve mastered the previous one.'<blockquote>'
How are Khan Academy tutorials different from MOOCs, the massive open online courses that many universities offer for free?They tend to be regular courses transplanted into the virtual world. They tell you what to do in Week 1, Week 2. You take a final exam. Some people pass. Some don’t.
That’s not what we want. We don’t want to see who can keep up with an M.I.T. course and who can’t. We want to get everyone to the point that they have the knowledge that the M.I.T. course is trying to teach them. When you go to the site today, you get a test to evaluate where you are in math. You determine your own pace. And you don’t go to the next level until you’ve mastered the previous one.
Another difference between us and many of them is we have a platform where people can get personalized suggestions. Our software tracks your progress and customizes your lessons. You can take as long as necessary to get to a high level.
We’re more like a highly enriched, personalized textbook, a tool for you on your own or your teacher or tutor.'
