## Description

This Khan Exercises for WordPress plugin lets you host Khan Academy exercises in
your WordPress blog. [Khan Exercises](http://www.khanacademy.org/exercisedashboard)
make learning complex subjects fun and they are free to everyone! However, the framework
is very complex; it’s difficult to embed its exercises into another web site. We
made [framework changes](https://github.com/psimakov/khan-exercises), which make
it easier to embed the exercises and collect the exercise results right in your 
WordPress blog.

### Who developed this plugin and why?

This plugin was developed by [Pavel Simakov](http://www.softwaresecretweapons.com/jspwiki/about)
and uses a fork of Khan Academy Exercises Framework. Pavel currently works at Google
as a lead engineer on [Google Course Builder](https://code.google.com/p/course-builder/)
and other educational initiatives. He is also a founder of an adaptive education
site [itestyou.com](http://www.itestyou.com). Engaging interactive activities are
fundamental to effective learning. Khan Academy Exercises are great! Now it’s also
easy to create and use them everywhere on the Web.

installation and placed into `/wp-content/khan-exercises/audit.log` file or a database.
