TED conferences launched a YouTube education channel called TED-Ed with the goal of bringing high-quality education to the masses. What, if any, has the impact of this been on education and literacy?

Influence on education and digital literacy:

TED began in 1984 as a conference to discuss Technology, Education and Design and has grown exponentially with the Internet. TED talks can be used as a teaching tool to promote student motivation and introduce innovative instructional practices (Rubenstein, 2012)

It is important to note that highly networked nonhierarchical environments such as YouTube, have the ability to lose and disorient the learner, negatively impacting their learning (Pires et. al. 2009). Hierarchical linking, which exists in TEDed, is more conducive to learning.
