`Khan Academy `__'s core mission is to

"provide a free world-class education for anyone anywhere", and as over `60%

of the world's population is without access to the

internet `__,

primarily in the developing world, providing an alternative delivery

mechanism for Khan Academy content is key to fulfilling this mission.

`KA Lite `__ is a lightweight

`Django `__ web app for serving core

Khan Academy content (videos and exercises) from a local server, with

points and progress-tracking, without needing internet connectivity.

Primary use cases include:

--------------------------

-  For servers/\ **computer labs located in remote schools**, which

   could be slowly syncing with a central server over a cell/satellite

   network or via USB keys.

-  In **correctional facilities** and other environments where providing

   educational materials is of value, but users cannot be given general

   internet access.

-  **Mobile school "vans"**, which transport a server and multiple

   laptops/tablets between a number of schools (or orphanages, community

   centers, etc) in remote communities on a rotating basis, and syncing

   up with a central database (to download new content and upload

   analytics) when in an area with internet connectivity.

Roadmap

-------

Later in 2017, Learning Equality will be launching the successor of KA Lite. It's

called `Kolibri `__ and will have

very similar features to KA Lite, but will also be a platform for many other

educational resources besides Khan Academy's.

Because of the popularity of KA Lite, we are continuing

to support deployments by providing fixes to problems that

directly affect current usage. These include issues related to new

browsers, operating systems etc. We are also still optimizing regarding

performance issues.

If you are creating a new deployment at this very moment, feel assured that

KA Lite is still alive and will be maintained for the rest of 2017, after which

point we will be recommending that you migrate to Kolibri.

In the meantime, if you need new features in KA Lite, we welcome you to join

the community and contribute. In other words, we (Learning Equality) encourages

you (community members), to feel empowered and take responsibility for the

future of KA Lite.
