Since 2015 or so it should support mp4.

While Firefox supported other formats, including them would have doubled the size of KAOS, or allowed us to include half as many videos. I decided to stick with mp4 as it seemed to be the most widely supported. Hope your projects are going well!

We have used Khan on a Stick successfully by loading it onto hundreds of of Ubuntu hard drives on computers we send to developing countries. Recently we have asked to do the same on Windows 7 machines. The Khan is on the hard drive but does not run on Firefox. A message pops up where the video should be that says. “This text will be replaced” Any idea of a solution? Many thanks for your great work…Jack

Best of luck with your math efforts!

However, most of the content isn’t quite as well put together as the KA stuff. Additionally, the extra content might prove to be a distraction for what we are trying to implement, which is a study on the effectiveness of KA in the (middle school math) classroom.

Thanks again.

Were you able to get the whole RACHEL package? It includes some other nice resources beyond just the Khan Academy stuff.

The KA-lite package is great and coming along nicely. We hope to integrate it into RACHEL in the future, but for now the Khan Academy on a Stick is a nice simple way to get started with the videos.

Cheers, and good luck :)

I’m about to take 20 tablets down to a middle school in Guatemala and your refresh saved the day.

I’ll be supplementing with exercises from the KA-lite tool.

Thanks again. I hope you are enjoying retirement.
