According to Bloom whose work in referenced within this article, research has shown that 1:1 student attention raises student scores sometimes 2 standard deviations above their student counterparts who do not receive 1:1 instruction. Quoted from the article about the videos:"Generally seven to 14 minutes long, they consist of a voice-over by Khan describing a mathematical concept or explaining how to solve a problem while his hand-scribbled formulas and diagrams appear onscreen." He has been posting videos for 5 years and his students have answered 50 million questions using his teaching approach, according to this article. || [|Math Train on YouTube] || Mathtrain.tv is a concept where students are teaching math concepts to other students using video and screencasts.
