Khan Academy has 5.4 million monthly users of its educational videos, exercises, and gamelike badging platform online. Tens of thousands of schools are using the platform.

Jamie Alexandre has taken the KA platform and created an offline version, called KA Lite, to be used in areas where there is little or no internet connectivity. This has been previously covered by the Foundation in a blog post.

However, now the KA Lite system is being used by Idaho’s Department of Corrections to educate prisoners. Surprisingly enough (cough, cough) supplying internet connectivity is not top of the priority list for the prison system so this is an ideal solution for IT-driven learning.
