Check out our GED Math prep app!
Khan Academy is the most widely used OER within adult education....
...but many educators note it is difficult for learners to know which lessons they should study.
The Florida Literacy Coalition worked to tackle this challenge by building a GED Video Math Prep website designed for learner self-study that organizes relevant Khan Academy videos into topics and subtopics.
CrowdED Learning partnered with FLC to take this great site and turn it into a free app! Now, learners can access learning on a mobile device or computer, track their work within the app, and launch directly into Khan Academy!
