What a great idea
September 25, 2010A friend of mine sent me a link to the The Khan Academy. This is a free society at work. It’s the kind of ‘social surplus’ I’ve mentioned before – the kind that always seems so rare in centrally-planned societies.
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.
