Khan Academy’s content library includes a wide variety of subjects such as math, science, art history and economics for different levels and age groups, from pre-school to college with an approach of life-long learning. Apart from 10,000 Turkish videos, the platform offers more than 100,000 interactive exercises and articles. It also features an artificial intelligence that enables individuals to learn through a personalized path at their own time and own pace. Thanks to the reporting system, individuals have the opportunity to track their progress while parents and teachers are provided with advanced tools. Khan Academy aims to support not only anyone who wishes to learn, but also students registered in formal education systems. Thus, Khan Academy content is also available for students and teachers through the Educational Informatics Network, shortly known as EBA, in collaboration with the Turkish Ministry of National Education.
