A new free resource is now available to help integrate content from TED talks into your courses called TED Studies. TED Studies combines recorded TED video sessions on a given topic and adds essays, key terms, debate topics, assignment questions, activities, and other instructor materials to round out each set of programs.

TED teamed up with publisher John Wiley & Sons to create PC and iPad-based content that can be used to support lessons on happiness studies and statistics, with more on the way. Additional topics planned for future release include:

• Government and Politics: Cyber-Influence and Power;
• Linguistics: Exploring the Evolution of Language;
• Marine Biology: Deep Oceans;
• Media & Journalism: Covering World News; and
• Urban Design: The Ecology of Cities.

For more information about more courses that are available, please visit Ted Studies.

If you have questions on how to best use this in your course, contact the Learning Technology Center.
