When someone asks me what I think of Khan Academy, my response is usually something like "I love Khan Academy" and then to go on about how to build on the idea. I know, as this post points out, we could weigh in with various concerns about the utility of videos, the pedagogy on online learning, and all the rest of it. But the main thing is, as says, "I get to take a course taught by [an expert]. For free. On a subject I'm really interested in. So, what's the problem exactly?" Every day, for me, is an exercise in this sort of learning. Every day! What's not to like?
