For those who don’t know, a huge amount of Khan academy has been translated into Xhosa. The videos can be found here.
For instance, here’s the binomial theorem:
as translated by Zwelithini Mxhego. It looks like these videos haven’t been viewed all that many times, though a huge amount of work has clearly gone into them. If you think you know people who might benefit from these, please do spread the word!
This is great! I wonder what we can do to spread the word better. Can we make this something the Science faculty mentions at UCT? At other universities? Does the department of education know that this exists? Promote it?
It would be really exciting if we can promote this further. I can certainly contact local schools about it. It would be most interesting to be able to get feedback from Xhosa speaking students to see if it is actually a useful resource.
“It looks like these videos haven’t been viewed all that many times”
I think Numeric gives out flash drives with Khan Academy videos since lots of schools don’t have good internet access. So the videos might have been watched more times than they say.
