I hadn't looked at Khan for over 2 years until this thread. And yes, it's very different. Statistics is organized in a content/curriculum manner. But it starts out with a "mission/mastery" module which is very much analogous to an ALEKS pre-assessment. It's stated goal is to help place you in the right curricula path for your current state of knowledge. I tried it out for a couple of hours yesterday and only got to 24% so far after not missing a single question. For me this is getting quite tedious since I know this subject quite well. Over the next few days, I'll try to stick it out to see where it leads and report back.
Also, within the contents curriculum, the subtopic is first presented as a problem to solve. If you don't know how to start, you click on a video for help.
In sum, I might say at this point that Khan now appears to me like a "video ALEKS" - w/o the credit path- if you use it's Mission/Master module as your course guide.
