Can someone buy him a http://www.wacom.com/cintiq/ to help with the visuals?
The presentation format of "let's draw everything super low quality with a mouse" gets old quickly. I believe we've found a case of intelligence without a designer.

The quality has improved dramatically over time. The more recent ones (check out some of the later calc videos) are in HD, and are well-presented, probably scripted beforehand. OTOH in one of the old physics vids his phone goes off part-way through.
Yep. Here's his most recent video: http://youtu.be/17st-s5gg10?hd=1
He's always been using some sort of tablet for his recordings. In fact, if any of them were achieved by mousing, then Khan isn't just a brilliant educator, he'd also be blessed with godly mousing skills.
What would be nice is if someone could help him out and update the older vids. As others have pointed out, the new vids have great quality. Maybe it's possible to algorithmically improve the quality in the past ones given that they're all lines.

He's been going through the older videos and rerecording them to improve their quality, but he sees new content as a higher priority.
I'm pretty sure he already does use one.
Didn't he get a million dollars from Google? So if he wants some tool he could afford it no problem.
Maybe he takes the Craigslist approach of using ugly design because it's not intimidating?
They might not look sexy, but they work, so his time is better spent making new stuff rather than redoing the low res videos.
Someone should just auto-vectorize them using something akin to

I really wish this site was around when I was in high school and college. I'm glad it will be there for my children and I'm certain it will have even more great content than it already has now when they approach the subject matter on this site in their studies.
