Visit Khan Academy's website, www.khanacademy.org, to read more about how their free educational materials and exercises work for individual studies, collaborative learning and digital classroom environments.
The videos in front of you are have been made possible through data packaged by Learning Equality, an organization working to promote free online contents such as Khan Academy beyond the reach of internet (broadband) etc.
Distribution is done with videos, exercises, and interactive tools for teachers and students through the KA Lite project, soon to be re-branded Kolibri. If you want to access exercises and features such as student progress reporting, we recommend the KA Lite project.
At a hackathon in Berlin, Jan. 2016, in which Kiwix and Learning Equality people came together, we decided to try exporting KA Lite's videos in the OpenZIM format, the data format you are using right now to view the videos. We wanted to see people distributing offline contents collaborate on common standards and platforms, and we are happy that data from one offline application (KA Lite) is able to enter the realms of other applications throught the OpenZim format. This has been an effective proof of concept.
In the future, we hope to see many more platforms both read and write the OpenZim format, and that other projects will generate and use APIs and storage formats for the purpose of offline distribution.
Moreover, we encourage developers to join a growing movement of content liberators who seek not only to provide free and wonderful privileges of education to those with fast internet access, but also to those without!
