Khan Academy already does this. They have high quality content on a lot of subjects for K-12 and some for college level students as well. And yet, the adoption of Khan Academy is very limited.
So based on that (albeit with a sample size of only 1), it's unlikely that any [inter]national effort will make any difference.
Plus, people getting recorded videos for learning will feel cheated because they could have just got this for free online. What's the point of paying for education? Very few people actually have/ask doubts in class. Source: am a student.
- aaomidi 5y agoI wouldn't really say Khan Academy is the same quality of what I'm talking about really. Although one should ask, why aren't schools deferring to that as a resource more?
- AlexanderTheGr8 5y agoKhan Academy has high quality videos. They have very clear explanations, and are always factually correct. Kurzgesagt videos just add animation + story_telling to concepts. They don't add any educational value. To answer your question, an educated guess would be to justify education costs. How do you justify high costs if all you are doing is redirecting students to a free website?
- iamstupidsimple 5y ago> Kurzgesagt videos just add animation + story_telling to concepts. They don't add any educational value. Animation and story are a great way to educate somebody in a broad way. For depth, even in something like mathematics, there's 3Blue1Brown's animation style.
