“Found” Learning Objects – Python tutorials on Khan Academy

Filed under Content & Learning Activities (Outcome4),Ecampus (Outcome1),Tools & Resources (Outcome 5)

I confess that Shannon Riggs came across these tutorials first, but I am finally getting a chance to look at them. Yeah!

These are nicely narrated videos about writing computer programs in the Python language. These will be excellent additions to my GEO 599 – GIS Programming with Python course.

These videos are at the Khan Academy website, listed under Computer Science.

If you are curious about how to write a program: see http://khanacademy.org/video?v=husPzLE6sZc

Thanks Shannon!! I am so excited!!

    I’m so glad that these will work for you! The Khan Academy has tutorials on an increasingly wide range of topics. If you’re interested in hearing how this rich repository of resources came about, you can find the story here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khan_Academy

    I just found the Khan Academy myself! What a great resource. I’m really excited by the content and, especially, the creative way he presents his material. Kudos for digging into a previously unknown source of cool teaching tools!
