LE 03 : Khan Academy

                                
      

                                              Khan Academy                              






In today’s world, education has become the essential need to excel in life but still many lads are moving around with not that essential good. Any reasons . . . . . . ?



1) The obvious ones are lack of 
opportunities for studying due 
to poverty leading to the unaffordibility of education.




2) But along with this there 
     are other reasons for those
     who are able to afford it but
     not finding it interesting . . .  . . . . .



Solution to this is  Khan Academy, a non profit educational organization, created in 2006 by Bangladeshi American educator Salman Khan, a graduate of MIT and Harvard. With the stated mission of "providing a high quality education to anyone, anywhere", the website supplies a free online collection of more than 3,200 micro lectures via video tutorials stored on You Tube teachingmaths, history, healthcare, medicine, finance, physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, economics, cosmology, organic chemistry, computer science.......



So, first of all it caters to the 2nd reason holders by providing them education in an innovative manner, the example of which can be seen by clicking here, but at the same time, its innovative technique can be used as an institutional intent to provide education to poor people through online.





The skills that sets it apart from others is of assortment and arranging of information over the web, clarity of  thought, way of presentation. All this gives it a unique setter advantage with which it has achieved its place in market.


Learning which Igot from Khan Academy are :


An organisation’s values need to be authentic and matched with the strategic direction of the business. As a leader you need to hold yourself and others accountable to these values. If you’re going to do this, you will want to make sure you’re 100% comfortable with the values. I know of one organisation that had its values printed onto the building security pass lanyards people wore around their necks. When the senior leaders of the organisation made a number of decisions that didn’t seem to align with these values, many employees staged a quiet protest by removing their official lanyards and replacing them with plain ones that didn’t include the stated values. In that case, the inauthentic values probably did more harm than good, speaking of a promise that wasn’t fulfilled by leaders.


It has made world a compressed entity by providing information and all gyan over one portal and changed lives of many……………..
