Khan Academy Edtech

Something like Kahn Academy (https://www.khanacademy.org/)?

Who needs textbooks when Chatgpt, YT, open course, khan academy, gives u education for cheap?

It's too bad that no one is trying to disrupt education (except for Khan Academy, Coursera, Udemy, Lumosity, Knewton, Skillshare, CourseHorse, Inkling, Edufire ...)

> "Khan Academy and its donors may preclude better products from coming along"The author is just bitter. One website on the internet does not preclude another. As you said, there are many startups. Focusing on just KA, the author might be wearing horse blinders.If he is a teacher, he should be counseling his students instead to repeating the same lesson that can be learned from a video. There will always be a need for direct human tutoring.

crazier idea: stop profiting off of education

I'm not entirely sure what sort of courses you are planning to offer, but what I can tell you is that course material quality at traditional higher education providers (bottom tier) is appalling (and they know it). If you can get it right, that would be worth a lot more than $1m/year. At the moment, the most obvious bottleneck would be the relatively small context window of GPT models (<3k words). It is speculated that OpenAI plans to increase it to 24k words, which would make it a

Education. I think there's no good reason why only elite schools have access to great lecturers and great materials. Great lectures with great contents should be recorded once and be made digitally accessible to all schools. Teachers should be focusing on student developments at personal level instead of reinventing the wheels of preparing for lectures!I was working on this as a startup, we did have some good results, but the challenge was to take it at a bigger scale.
