Nah, it's for a different demographic. Khan Academy is primarily for high schoolers, whereas MIT is for college students (and beyond).

MIT OCW could definitely learn something about design and ease of use from Khan Academy, though.

Younger than high school, too. His lectures on basic arithmetic are really sweet and disarming, good for both grade-schoolers (and remedial adults).
