Hello!! I've noticed that Khan Academy doesn't have an IB course. Does anyone have any suggestions on what would be good material for that?
On the other hand, would it be possible for Khan Academy to add an IB course? Ie., explanation of how it works, IB vs. AP, practice questions to work through and such, working through lessons on Mathematics SL/HL, Biology SL/HL, so on and so forth.
Thank you!!! :)
Oh!! IB stands for International Baccalaureate. It's similar to AP (Advanced Placement) but it's known for pushing students into college/university-level learning and encourages independent thinking and problem solving. If you get into an IB/AP course, there will be exams that will count for credit. Universities often look at how many of these courses you take and how well you did in them. (This is my understanding!! :))
Hello Lilianna, to somewhat answer your question I am currently in an IB course for the rest of my High School experience. IB corses don't go through completely different material than normal classes lol. It is just that the classes encourage in depth thought about the subjects at hand more than the typical coarse. Be that through socratic discussions, or projects etc.. So if you take the usual high level stuff here on khan academy and really try to think deeply about the topics, that is pretty much IB classes right there. :D
