Khan Academy: Can we diversify the law school pipeline? Yes, we “Khan.”
by Catherine Wang, vice president of marketing and strategic partnerships at Khan Academy, and Lily Knezevich, senior vice president for learning and assessment, LSAC Last June, the Law School Admission Council and Khan Academy unveiled an ambitious—maybe even audacious—joint venture to offer free online LSAT prep to prospective law school students.

Khan Academy: A successful 2018 Language Advocate convention

Khan Academy staff and Language Advocates exchanged best practices on everything from marketing and fundraising to effectively partnering with schools using Khan Academy in the classroom. Language Advocates also shared translation tips and tools with each other and presented to the entire Khan Academy staff about their efforts to make Khan Academy available around the world. Last but certainly not least, each Language Advocate brought a tasty treat from their home country so everyone could share in a delicious, international buffet. Language Advocates work hard to make sure Khan Academy content isn’t just translated into different languages but made applicable to each country’s local context. For example, an English math problem about a game of baseball may turn into a problem about a…

They progress through questions and quizzes at just the right level for them. They get feedback as they learn and help…
