Yes and no. While Khan Academy is primarily an online platform requiring internet access, you can use Khan Academy resources without wifi under certain circumstances.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Online Access (Typically Required): To access the full range of Khan Academy features, including most videos, exercises, articles, and progress tracking, you need a stable internet connection. This is because the content is streamed from Khan Academy's servers.
-
Offline Access with Kolibri: Khan Academy content can be accessed offline using Kolibri. Kolibri is a free, open-source platform that allows you to download and locally host Khan Academy's educational resources. This means that once you've downloaded the content onto a device or local server, you can access it without an internet connection.
- Kolibri provides access to Khan Academy videos and exercises.
- It's especially useful in areas with limited or no internet connectivity.
Therefore, while a direct connection to the Khan Academy website necessitates wifi or an internet connection, the availability of Kolibri means that offline access to content is possible.
