I just got a promotion from the Kahn Academy pointing to their new iPad App. Now available for download. Always thought it would be a good to systematize the kind of capabilities that Kahn has for topics like math. For example, consider training as a set of short incremental tasks. For a manager that wants to update their knowledge, say in business statistics to better understand Big Data, put together a series of these tasks, then prompt them on their tablet to complete sections daily. If useful, gamifying the process. Here is what they write about the resources they have:
" ... Sharpen your skills: Over 150,000 interactive exercises with instant feedback and step-by-step hints for each question.
Flex your muscles: Get interactive math exercise recommendations tailored just for you.
Show your work: No need for paper or typing -- use our touch scratchpad to work through math problems! Once you have your answer, just write it with your fingertip and we’ll recognize it!
Track back: Your activity auto-magically syncs between your iPad and khanacademy.org, so your progress and recommendations are always up-to-date, anytime, anywhere. ... "
