Khan Academy

Pros

I like that it is free but has really high quality content. Other online learning platforms are much more expensive for the same education

Cons

I love the offerings that are there but I would love to see similar education with other subjects

Pros

It is aligned to several curriculums and covers concept by concept hence applicable adhoc or regular basis.
its Free, affordable and has the human touch
takes concepts from basics and any level
easy to integrate in other apps such as google class and Ka hoot
covers several subjects

Cons

it requires large amounts of data, the point system drives students towards competition and not understanding. It approaches mathematics from mostly the common core curriculum only

Reasons for Switching to Khan Academy

Pros

Khan Academy offers a variety of courses in different disciplines which is something good for people who want to learn different things. I like that learning at Khan Academy is free and available for anyone. Also, Khan Academy offers quizzes and exams after each lesson to test my knowledge.

Cons

Khan Academy has few subtitles for the most talkative languages only. Khan Academy doesn't have any advanced courses. Most of the courses are offered for beginners. Also, the interface of Khan Academy needs some improvement to be more engaging.

Pros

My favorite part about Khan Academy is how it can be so easily incorporated to support self-paced and extension learning. The targets (lessons) are so well organized and the program itself is incredibly easy to navigate. Many of the lessons contain helpful tutorial videos which help support learners as well. My students get about fifteen minutes a day to progress through the math lessons, and Khan Academy has served to significantly boost students achievement in that time. It isn't a replacement for our full curriculum, but it is used to supplement and fill in gaps.

Cons

There isn't much to dislike about Khan Academy, but one gripe I do have is how busy the design is. Sometimes, particularly in the introduction to using the program, my students can get overwhelmed and unsure where to go and what to click on to find their work. Like anything else, this can be overcome with practice, but there is a lot on the screen to sift through at times.

Pros

We LOVE Khan Academy. My husband stumbled upon it years ago for our oldest daughter, and the content is spot on for exactly what kids are learning per grade. Now my son is in Kindergarten and he is using it too. Every area they've struggled with is featured on this app. And it's free!

Cons

I do not have any complaints about Khan Academy, except that I wish they offered a Spanish option. Both of my kids are in a Spanish Dual Language program, and we love Khan for English so much that I wish they had one for Spanish per grade too.

Pros

Khan Academy did e-learning before the other companies joined in. The content is still high level and a great teaching tool for all ages and grades/levels.

Cons

Assessment limitations for students with special needs and multi language learners

Pros

IIts a decent software where one can learn about competitive services. Daily MCQ content is good and dynamic. The best part is how they integrate the current portion of UPSC into the static portion which is quite helpful from a prelims point of view. Mains content of the competition service is also very good with mock papers

Cons

they concentrate only on UPSC and not on state psc papers.

Pros

What I like most about this software is the large variety of course subjects within my overall subject of Science

Cons

What I like least about this software is that it doesn't always gain the attention of my students.

Pros

I like the approach the Khan Academy takes to its courses. Providing videos and walkthrus are great for the students. The test prep is especially helpful.

Cons

The content is a bit lacking. Core subjects are covered quite well but as a complete solution, it needs to add more elective content. Computer Science in particular is not a robust as it could be.

Pros

They offer high-quality free education, giving you the opportunity to practice the concepts instead of just learning the theory.

Cons

I can't think of anything I would like to improve

Pros

The ability to keep students in track with weekly learning plans, from algebra to your basic 3rd grade math. Also the ability to do practice testing such as LSAT's.

Cons

There in not one part of this software I haven't enjoyed.

Pros

It's a great resource for students who are struggling with mathematical concepts and is easy to set up for students to use outside of the classroom.

Cons

Sometimes it can be difficult to find specific concepts.

Pros

Lot of Free courses with interactive videos
Very easy to install with less memory space unlike other apps
Navigation on the app specially is really end user oriented and can be used by both type of app users - Nov and Prof

Cons

Content of the course - It’s too basic and low level
Not much detail explanation or analysis have been added

UI - Can be more intuitive. Not very eye catchy

Courses : Need to add more important major courses with no cost

Pros

It is an easy tool for students to use when struggling with a topic and it is easy to assign as it is embedded within other progress monitoring programs.

Cons

I don’t care for the way the narrator repeats everything.

Pros

It is a great platform to share ideas and learn new skills. It has great resources from all content areas.

Cons

It only has a small sample of Health and PE lessons. I want to see more lessons about Mental Health.

Pros

Multilingualism and learning start access.

Cons

The price is a little high for some but not a major flaw.

Pros

It's very good and easy to use and has very good content and courses

Cons

Courses do not contain a completion certificate and I can't share it in my linked-in account

Pros

The thing I like most about Khan Academy is that students can access free videos to interpret for their assignments.

Cons

I feel like it is difficult to find specific things I am looking for on Khan Academy.

Pros

I used Khan Academy to begin learning basic coding and it was amazing

Cons

I can’t think of anything, it makes learning really fun

Pros

I love using Khan academy. It has helped my student close gaps and helped my students academic growth

Cons

It’s not fully functional with Canvas but it work really well With google classroom

Pros

It provides guidelines for each subject. I most of the times takes its help to understand difficult concepts.

Cons

It covers academics parts but not working on skill development through extra curricular activities that must also be the part of this software providing complete guidelines side by side along with academics

Pros

It is free, it has companion videos and it is overall extremely well curated with a vast number of practice questions that span beyond what is necessary in school

Cons

Searching for specific topics, especially under and educational account can be a challenge, since there are many results that are not suitable for the student level

Pros

I've mainly used Khan Academy to prepare for my SAT test, and it was very helpful. I took the SAT test twice, using Khan Academy to study for less than hour (total) in between, and scored 40 points higher the second time. I believe that if I had dedicated more time to studying using Khan Academy resources, I could've scored even higher. The best part is that it's free! It uses your results from the first test to help you study.

Cons

I have no complaints about this software since it personalizes your practice questions from your previous test(s).

Pros

Khan Academy is great for re-teaching a topic that the students are struggling with. It provides great informational videos.

Cons

So far, I have not found any cons to complain about while using Khan Academy.

Pros

I loved the free trial that helped me decide and narrow my learning options

Cons

I did not like the that its 24/7 communication

Pros

Los recursos que ofrece la plataforma, el estilo en general de la página web, y las actividades didácticas que ofrece para ejercitar los contenidos vistos pocas veces son complicados, y eso facilita que el uso general de la herramienta sea muy agradable.

Cons

En general la plataforma no presenta errores, quizás podría contar con opciones de personalización para gusto del usuario, pero no es indispensable.

Pros

Que es muy educativo y puedo aprender de lo que sea de cualquier cosa en cualquier lugar y en cualquier momento.

Cons

Lo que menos me gusta es que a veces no hay material de estudios de lo que realmente quiero pero fuera de eso nada fuera de lo común

Pros

Me gusta de Khan Academy, que me permite capacitarme en los cursos requiera, en el día, tiempo y lugar disponga. Es una comunidad enriquecedora del conocimiento humano.

Cons

Me siento muy conforme con lo que he podido aprender en Khan Academy.

Pros

Posee muchísimos ejercicios. Explica a los estudiantes cuando se equivocan Puedo ver el progreso de mis estudiantes Puedo armar los temarios de contenidos según las necesidades de mi aula.

Cons

No tengo queja alguna con Khan Academy, solamente en un par de ocaciones a algunos alumnos se les ha hecho "complicado" empezar a usar la plataforma, pero es cosa de minutos aprenden con facilidad.
