About this project
Alain S. from KA Deutsch e.V. is responsible for this project
Khan Academy is not only a unique website to learn just about anything! There are probably only a few e-learning websites which have been translated into so many languages and more are still actively beeing translated to. As an example, already more than 1500 videos have been translated to Arabic.
Out of this we want to create a unique tool for refugees to close their gaps in mathematics and at the same time learn the German language. We develop an Webbrowser Extension for de.khanacademy.org where a foreign language speaker can simply display the translation of texts and videos to his native language.
1. Title and descriptions of videos can be viewed with just a mouse click in various languages. Thanks to a text-to-speech engine, this can also be played audibly.
2. Trough Flags, displayed at the right side, the learner which did not understand a video in German, can easily switch to the the video in his native language or any other language which he understands.
What is your opinion about this idea? Please give us feedback as as a comment here on Betterplace.org. And help us develop the next iteration.
A first prototype was already developed. More information in German can be found here:
