non-

profit organization started by Salman Khan who was a MIT and Harvard graduate In late 2004, Khan began tutoring his cousin Nadia, in mathematics over the internet using yahoos Doodle notepad. When other

more practical and beneficial to distribute the tutorials on YouTube when he created an account on November 16 2006.Their popularity on the video sharing website and the testimonials of appreciative

students prompted khan to quit his job as a hedge fund analyst in late 2009 to focus on developing his YouTube channel, Khan

academy, full-time with aid of his longtime friend Josh Gefner Salman Khan talks about how and why he created the remarkable Khan Academy, a carefully structured series of educational videos offering complete curricula in math and, now, other subjects. He shows the power of interactive exercises, and calls for teachers to consider flipping the traditional classroom script -- give students video lectures to watch at home, and do "homework" in the classroom with the teacher available to help.

Following the khan academy some organizations like MIT OCW have

reinvented themselves adapting themselves to the present time

Even though the khan academy has had a large impact on the society in the past 4-5 years there have been some drawbacks. Lectures are inefficient. Learning does not happen via the transmission model i.e.

But even this high technological age people question the need of teachers in schools and colleges with organisations such as khan academy.

learning. If e learning can be incorporated with school educatio n

then each student can grasp what is being taught in class without falling behind and also possibly enjoy learning.
