    This is a very interesting and useful site that encourages student learning and improvement. To provide a method of preventing students from moving on to another topic before fully understanding is ideal . This is ideal because this strategy directs the students to improve in their learning. As educators, we know that some students would move on from topic to topic so that they can click complete but this strategy is very useful.
    I also like that this academic website can be used for home , public and private schools, thus providing useful and important information and quizzes.
    Although a negative point was given, this site seems to be very well put together and useful for teachers and students.

How Khan Academy Uses Artificial Intelligence to Enhance the Teaching and Learning Process

By
Khan Academy uses an interactive artificial intelligence named Khanmigo to assist both teachers and students. Khanmigo is a GPT -4 powered learning guide. It can help teachers plan lessons, gain insight into students' performance and provide advice on what to do with the information from progress reports. It is not free, and the fee is typically about $9 US/ month.  Khanmigo can be used as a virtual assistant or coach to help students learn content or complete assignments. This can be seen as a form of one-on-one tutoring and students can use it to not only accelerate their learning but to improve their communication and collaboration skills. Khanmigo does not provide learners with direct answers, instead, Khan Academy has designed it to only provide prompts and suggestions to help guide them to find solutions and consequently, enhance students' learning experience.
