I really, really wish you wouldn't get rid of the missions! Having a nice circle with my progress and little boxes telling me which things I have done is very helpful for me.
I don't really like the new method, but I was happy because you could still view the mission part. Missions has never given me any serious trouble, and I just like it.
I will most likely still use Khan Academy, as it is useful, but I will be very sad. :(
Hi, Hiswelókë -
There are several reasons that Khan Academy is saying goodbye to Missions. One major reason is that the Missions code base (the building blocks that make Missions work) is very old, causing errors and disruptions in the Missions experience, and making it increasingly difficult for developers to maintain. And in conceiving the mastery learning system we want for the future, we recognized some key gaps in Missions that made it difficult for use in the classroom:
Khan Academy is committed to continuing to improve Course Mastery. In 2020, Mastery Challenges and elevated Course Challenges were added to encourage acceleration through familiar material; and enhancements will continue to be made that support engaged learners and efficacious use of class time.
I hope this helps!
