You are not a dummy


Some people need a different type of learning than the conventional learning system.
One of such person that discovered this for himself is the founder of the online learning platform Khan Academy who used to jump classes at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). To him lectures were long and boring, “I found it much more valuable to learn the material at my own time and pace,” he says. “I learned a lot more going into the computer lab or the science lab or the circuits lab, fiddling with things and playing and getting my hands dirty.”

He has used that same spirit of self-paced learning to singlehandedly create the platform. The platform provides practice exercise, videos and self-paced personalize learning
which covers a range of subject from computer programming, mathematics, biology to finance and history.
