Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Revise basics of mathematics that are useful for my job and I’ve forgot about

Pros and Cons

Short explanation right to the point
Quizz are helpful and simple enough to be complete quickly
Lot of contents

On my iPad, to change the language of Khan, I need to change the language of my iPad in the settings
It can be a bit messy and the category are a bit too generic, not enough per level category
Sometimes the quizz are too simple, it would be nice to have an extra difficult one as a bonus

Return on Investment

Fast revise some notions
help me iterate faster

Khan academy is free, that’s a big plus. Also, it is way less fragmented than Coursera for example. There are a lot of diverse topics I can select from and even if it’s not related to my job, I sometimes look at the history section. One missing feature compared to other plateforms would be the possibility to get a certificate. This would encourage people to finish a class as there would be a goal, also a real exam would help to check your knowledges.

Likelihood to Recommend

You forgot a notion, so you search for it, read the material, complete the quiz and you are good to go

I'm not sure this would be a replacement for math class, as there might not be enough in-depth exercise to allow to understand the notions. But it's a great help for me.

Great tools for education
