Khan Academy Launches Education App with Parent Component

"Called Khan Academy Kids, the educational app is “a complete learning experience across multiple subjects” that is designed to adapt over the years as a child grows, according to a statement released by the organization—and parent participation is a “key component” of the experience.

"Parent participation is a key component of the Khan Academy Kids experience. Parents can engage in learning activities with their child and read books out loud. They can view their child's progress on activities in the Library and set up accounts for multiple children, all for free."

Comment:  It will be interesting to see how the "nudge for adults about joint engagement" will be implemented. To impress on parents the importance of "joint engagement" is important to avoid the "baby-sitting" role apps can inadvertently take.
