How can I go back to the classic Khan Academy experience as an independent learner?

Updated

Khan Academy has been reimagined for teachers and their students! We are thrilled to offer these updates to ensure a more streamlined and engaging learning experience. Below we have some resources if you'd prefer to experience the platform as an independent learner, outside of the classroom experience.

This article will cover: 

  1. Why you are seeing the updated reimagined Khan Academy experience 
  2. How to tell if you are enrolled in classes 
  3. How to stay in your classes, but access the features as an independent learner 
  4. How to transition your account from being enrolled in classes, to being an independent learner instead

Why am I seeing the reimagined Khan Academy experience?

The following account types will see the reimagined Khan Academy experience:

  1. Accounts with the teacher role enabled (this includes combo Parent + Teacher accounts) 
  2. Accounts which have gone through the teacher onboarding. 
    -If you are seeing the teacher onboarding page, but don't know why check out this article! 
  3. Students who are enrolled in a Khan Academy class .
  4. Any account rostered with Khan Academy Districts .

How can I tell if I am enrolled in classes? 

  • You will see the reimagined Khan Academy experience upon login. Here's what it looks like!  
  • You also can visit https://www.khanacademy.org/profile/me and if it says "My classes" on the lefthand side, you are enrolled in the class listed there. 

If you need to stay in your Khan Academy classes for your school or teacher, but want to still see the independent learner experience:  

  • Visit: https://www.khanacademy.org/profile/me 
  • This page will take you to the classic Khan Academy experience, where you can continue learning independently and access features such as:
    • Badges
    • Energy points 
    • Avatars
    • The classic learner profile

  • Note: Clicking on a class title will take you back to the reimagined experience. Keep the https://www.khanacademy.org/profile/me URL handy!

If you would like to transition your account to be an independent learner (aka leave your classes): 

  • Visit https://www.khanacademy.org/profile/me/teachers 
  • Click "Remove" next to the teachers of the classes you are enrolled in

  • Click "Remove" on the confirmation popup. 
    NOTE: as this popup says, clicking "Remove" will delete all your assignment data and grades. So if you are still in school, check with your teacher(s) before you click this! 

If you are having trouble with this process, or have additional questions about your account, please contact the Khan Academy Support Team. We are here and happy to help!
