Development and Influence
Khan University has received more and more social recognition, and its scale is getting bigger and bigger. Since 2006, Khan College has only a teacher in several years, and now there are 32 teachers to join, and there is a huge volunteer team. The field of video tutorials is also expanding, from mathematics basic core courses - arithmetic, geometric, algebra, calculus, physical, biological, chemical, medical, art, finance, historical courses involving "French Revolution", "Vietnam War "Wait, the content is very broad." Khan is expanding the teaching video in more fields, such as accounting, credit crisis, SAT and GMAT exams.

analysis believes that the success of the "Khan University" is a challenge for the current educational system. According to the statistics of the YouTube website, the Khan's course is also popular than free online courses made by his alma mater Institute of Technology. Many universities online courses, but it is the process of teaching the processes of classes, emphasizing "teaching"; and Khan's teaching video, highlights the process of "learning". It is said that "Khan Mode" makes people have questioned many "non-two truths" of higher education - if only experts are the best teacher, each lesson is not about an hour, the most suitable ... In American education, there is also a video teaching class, but the effect has been in a bad, and the students have a limited share of a computer, and the exchange of teachers is limited. Nowadays, two schools in California, California have been tried in the fifth grade and seventh grade teaching video. The students watch video self-study at home, and the teacher answers questions in the classroom, and counseling students to complete their homework. Khan said, this is what he hoped: "My goal is to make a video course that everyone is willing to follow. Seeing people entering the university with the help of the 'Khan College', I really have achieved good results. It is too happy. "The next goal of Khan is to make all the courses from kindergarten to high school in the next five years, as well as some university courses such as computer science and electronic engineering.
However, some people pointed out that "Khan Mode" is insufficient. Walt Scacad, a professor of the University of Miami, believes that the teaching method of Khan has "excessive simplified" defects, "he always uses specific examples to explain the concept. If people encounter other examples, they may be confused ... this The surface is a small problem, but it may be a hidden danger for future learning. "But no matter what, exploiting the power of the Internet with the help of the Internet, the" family teacher "is given to the people who are eager for knowledge, indeed gave it. Modern education more inspiration.
Today, Khan has created an educational non-profit organization that relying on the Khan University, the main purpose to use the online video to conduct free teaching, existing mathematics, history, finance, physics, chemistry, creatures, astronomy The content of the subjects, the teaching film is more than 2,000 sections, and the mission of institutions is to accelerate the speed of learning of each age. Khan's career has received more and more social recognition. The material support with this is more active. On the one hand, since the teaching video is extremely high, Khan can obtain an advertisement of approximately $ 2,000 (about 13,000 yuan) from the YouTube website. On the other hand, many students will spontaneously give him money, from dozens of dollars to a million US dollars. According to reports, the famous American risk investment at Doliff has donated him 100,000 US dollars. With these money, Khan will translate existing video into more than 10 languages, French, Russian, and Chinese, and hire some assistants.
2009, the "Khan University" was awarded the Education Award in the Microsoft Technical Award. He I also became the object of media chasing. In 2010, "Khan College" has received two important contributions: a charity fund donated by Bill Gates, another is $ 2 million sponsored by Google.
