A worthwhile cause and a modern hero
I just got whiff of a the work of the Khan Academy. In spectacular fashion, its creator Salman Khan has created a series of online tutorials and lectures, which he publishes on youtube, on a range of topics including mathematics, finance and biology. I have watched a couple of them and I have to say that his lecturing style is great – he is easy to listen to and addresses the topic at hand with clarity and care.
The most incredible thing about this whole venture is that his videos are free and under a creative commons license – which means you can distribute them yourself provided you give credit to their author. This is something which I feel has been lacking on the Internet; an educator who addresses a series of topics and who makes the lessons available to all for free. A true modern hero if you ask me…
