Khan Academy: Over 1600 Videos on Math, Science & More!

Written on August 10, 2010 – 3:22 am | by Matthew Hovell

This site is amazing!! Hundreds and hundreds of videos take you from the simplest math basics through the most complicated calculus and trigonometry. Broad science topics include many videos on biology, organic chemistry, physics and more.

Finally, there’s an idiosyncratic collection of other videos on topics as far-ranging as brain teasers, history, and the Geitner plan to solve the banking crisis!

From the website (my bold added):

The Khan Academy is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) with the mission of providing a world-class education to anyone, anywhere. Despite being the work of one man, Salman Khan, this 1600+ video library is the most-used educational video resource as measured by YouTube video views per day and unique users per month. We are complementing this ever-growing library with user-paced exercises–developed as an open source project--allowing the Khan Academy to become the free classroom for the World.

Key Features:

The videos provide informal, but powerful, explanations that take you step-by-step through each topic. Because you can stop or rewind them as needed, you can create your own self-paced instruction.
Practice exercises allow you to immediately test your knowledge of the topics. (A Google [eg. Gmail] account is needed to use the exercises… but this is available to anyone for free.
An enthusiastic group of contributors are participating in this open source project, so the list of exercises and videos is continually growing.

I recommend you check back frequently for new topics!
