The popular Xbox gaming platform is expanding into education.
The Khan Academy is making it possible, launching a free app that makes more
than 5,000 of its learning videos available through the Xbox One Live app.
“We’ve heard from many students who want to watch Khan
Academy videos in a lean-back experience on their big screen and are excited by
the ease of use in Xbox One apps,” a Khan Academy spokesperson told VentureBeat.
Khan Academy already makes its videos available through
Microsoft desktop computers, tablets, and mobile devices. The Khan app also
helps Microsoft in its multibillion-dollar battle with Sony’s PlayStation 4,
which has no learning apps.
The app is available to Xbox One users in Australia,
Ireland, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Microsoft also reported that there are 48 million Xbox Live account holders.
