The Khan Academy Provides Free Education Online

The Khan Academy
With over 2,700 educational videos published, The Khan Academy is the place for online learning

What started as a collection of YouTube videos to distant family members blossomed into an online learning centre

The Khan Academy says it’s “on a mission to provide a free world-class education to anyone anywhere,” and with over 2,700 educational videos already published online, it’s certainly on the right track.

Many of the videos are accompanied by test questions, and the website has a section fully dedicated to practicing what you’ve just learned.

Spanning a wide array of subjects, the videos are particularly useful for students, but equally enriching for anyone with a penchant for learning new things.

My inquisitive husband is perpetually fascinated by the astronomy videos, while I prefer browsing the brainteasers and art history.
