Language challenges: If Khan/Numeric content were presented in Afrikaans, some communication barriers would have been remedied greatly, leading to better performance. The report by Anthony gives a general feedback on the program thus far, highlighting the successes, challenges and suggested recommendations. Learners from the two schools have been attending sessions under the guidance of Anthony Mietas and Willem Prins (both working for the SCBP) as well as two interns at the SCDC. The Numeric content was sent to the Sutherland Community Development Centre (SCDC) early April to be piloted on the two schools in the area. Hence we contacted them and adopted their content. As the project made progress, it was brought to our attention that a South African establishment called Numeric had already started to develop such a resource. The original idea was to download the offline content known as “Khan on a stick”, extract the mathematics videos and use the South African CAPS ( Curriculum Assessment Policy Statements) to sort them into groups according to the grades. This package could be then used as an “extra Mathematics learning resource” in underprivileged schools in South Africa and the rest of Africa at a later stage. My first project with the OAD looked into getting the Khan Academy Youtube videos into an offline package.
