"KA Lite" is an offline, installable version of Khan Academy, aimed to reach the 65% of the world without internet access. It is also an extensible platform for distributing video and exercise content, allowing users to track their progress and mastery, and allowing coaches to view reports on user progress. KA Lite works offline, but also shares data to our main repository when online. This allows data to be shared (selectively) across KA Lite installations, letting users within the same "sharing network" to log in and continue progress across different installations. This also allows administrators to log in to our main website to view the latest "synced" data across their sharing network, from anywhere in the world.Tweets on #hack4good
