Khan Academy (Part 2)
Khan Academy (Part 2)
Students studying for an undergraduate degree in chemistry will probably find this app most helpful as it appears to be aimed at them. Much of the material is relevant to their course and it is delivered at a pace suitable to their level.
The app runs quite well with reasonable loading times and is quite easy to use as menus are organised with categories and sub-categories down to the topic however as mentioned above this might not be the best layout for pupils depending on their level of study.
The app also features useful practice questions on the material covered. These are very useful as they give the pupils feedback on their knowledge & understanding.
The Khan Academy app offers a wide range of subjects outside of chemistry & science and so could prove useful to pupils in their other subjects. And the fact that it is free for all of this gives it great value.
The app is rated an impressive 4.2 out of 5 ratings (and with many well deserved 5 out of 5’s) and with 310 reviews on the app store. Although, after discussing the Khan Academy app (as well as other educational chemistry apps reviewed in this blog) with actual chemistry & science teachers there was a general feeling that -though they are very useful for undergraduate students, including their former selves and yours truly- most educational apps (covering high school level chemistry) could do with being, at least partially, designed by actual chemistry teachers and educators so that the material covered (relevant though it may be) can still be communicated in a way easiest for those pupils to understand.
