I can't believe you just posted this. I had a 5 hour drive this morning and listened to nearly all the cryptography lectures during it.
Hey. Is there a way to extract the audio so I can listen to it from my phone? The links above point to flash content that I can't access on mobile

I guess it would be great if there was some sort of application that let you apply these techniques and actually see the results. Otherwise, it's like reading the theory section of documentation without getting to use the program.
All of our lessons give you interactive tools to create and experiment with in various ways. For example this one is fun: https://www.khanacademy.org/partner-content/pixar/modeling-c...
I didn't go through the whole thing initially. Excellent examples.
Thanks for your hard work. It is indeed an amazing series.

It extracts the audio then "huff-duffs" it; i.e., puts it into an RSS feed you can consume with your podcatcher of choice. Check it out, it's great.
Hey HN! My name is Brit Cruise and I'm the lead content developer on the Khan Academy side of this equation (working alongside Tony DeRose from Pixar...plus a village of others), if you have any specific questions about this project I'll be happy to answer as best I can.

I'm a developer at Khan Academy (currently working on the upcoming Android app), and it's cool to see that there's real interest in that kind of use case! In our hackathon a few weeks ago I wrote an audio-only Khan Academy app that lets you listen to any video or the text-to-speech of any article and is controlled completely through voice commands. Unfortunately it's not quite at a point where other people can use it…

Not a comment about this specifically, but I'm a big fan of your other courses on Khan Academy. They changed the way I think about the world. I can't overstate how grateful I am that you created them. Everyone should check out these lessons: Journey into cryptography: https://www.khanacademy.org/computing/computer-science/crypt...

I brought a computer graphics textbook into my high-school math class and asked my teacher if he could help me figure it out. His response was that I needed to pay attention to the current lesson plan, and would need to get through trig, then calculus before we could approach the book. What's amazing about this video series is that they have actually captured the elements that _can_ be taught to kids of various ages…
