Khan with attendees at an event in Irvine on April 24 to kickoff the partnership between the Khan Academy and several county education departments. In establishing relationships with several county offices of education in Southern California, the Khan Academy is hoping to expand its already large footprint in the world of personalized learning to make its online resources a more formal part of the school curriculum. The move could mark a quantum leap in the use of online materials in the classroom. Sal Khan, the Khan Academy’s founder, said he hopes the materials he has developed – online courses, instructional exercises, videos and a personalized “learning dashboard” – will become a “primary tool for practice” in the classroom, rather than just a supplement to the curriculum.
