Khan Academy has been reimagined for teachers and their students!

While this transition is primarily designed for teachers and students learning in classrooms, some independent learners may also notice the change if their account:

Has the teacher role enabled, or
Is enrolled in a class

If your account meets either of these criteria, you may see a different homepage and updated navigation when you sign in.

Why are we doing this?

The reimagined Khan Academy experience is designed to help teachers and their students achieve more through:

A redesigned classroom experience for teachers
Clearer student progress and performance insights
Simplified content assignment and classroom management
A more streamlined learning experience
Personalized learning paths and recommendations
Easier access to assigned work and learning progress
New motivational features that help learners build consistent learning habits
Improved accessibility for all learners

We hope that these updates help create a more focused and guided experience while maintaining access to Khan Academy's trusted content.

I’m in the new classroom experience even though I use Khan Academy as an independent learner

If you don’t want to use the new reimagined Khan Academy, you can update your account in order to access the previous learner experience.

To learn how, please follow the steps in our article:

How do I opt out or turn off the reimagined Khan Academy platform?

Switching back allows you to continue learning with the experience you're familiar with.

I personally feel that this update is taking a not insignificant step in a direction, and not necessarily a good one. My family has used this site for homeschooling for around 5 years now, and we've had an amazing experience with the tools offered by the site. They are (or were, I suppose) easy to navigate and understand. This update really caught me off guard, and it honestly scares me. A lot of sites have been making this jump toward "innovation" or "reimagination" or whatever you want to call it, but at its core, it is essentially just "Rub some AI on it and that will fix all of the problems!" I understand the need for Khan Academy to keep up with its competitors, and that some people might not find the original dashboard approach engaging enough, but this is too far. I had accumulated a lot of badges that I was rather fond of, and I feel like this is just burning down 5 years of my work, just for some "engagement". The people who worked on this update have probably been doing so for more than a year, and this isn't really my place to tell a bunch of people who know what they're doing that I know better than them, but I just felt that I needed to voice my feelings on this update.

Sincerely,

WiserPluto

Very frustrated with this update. My kids keep getting redirected to a classroom website. They are not able to go to their learner dashboard. I am not able to access the teacher dashboard or my settings. They both redirect to a website asking me to put in my classroom code.

Hi, I have the opposite problem of not being able to opt-in to see what it's like -- and I'm a teacher-enabled user with a learner in a class, and in a class as learner-teacher myself. Would like to know what I must to do actually see the new view, while the guide has helpful instructions for opting out of it permanently.
