TED Studies Created in collaboration with Wiley, TED Studies use TED talks as a jumping-off point for a structured educational experience. They're designed to help students, professors, and self-guided learners explore important topics in higher education. On TED.com, each TED Study includes a curated video collection, as well as an introductory essay and summary analysis. An expanded version of TED Studies — including special modules on each talk with questions, assignments, key terms and recommended reading — is available by license for academic settings.

TED is not the only game in town 0 Ignite 0 Ignite are a series of talks, available online, that are somewhat similar to TED Talks. Presenters get 20 slides and five minutes to make their point. It’s somewhat similar to Pecha Kucha presentations. The topics do not appear to generally be as wide-ranging as TED Talks, and seem to be more “geeky,” but some look pretty interesting. Ignite 0 Big Think 0 Big Think has over 600 engaging interviews with “thought leaders.” In many ways, it is similar to TED Talks. One nice advantage is that they host the talks on their site, so it should get through school content filters. Big Think Big Think
