TED-Ed is launching a suite of tools
that allow teachers to design their own web-assisted curricula, complete with
videos, comprehension-testing questions, and conversational tools. TED-Ed
provides a template — think Power Point slides, with populate-able fields —
that teachers can fill in with customized content: lesson titles, lesson links,
student names, embedded video, test questions, and the like. Once saved, a
lesson generates a unique URL, which allows teachers to track which students
have watched assigned videos, how they’ve responded to follow-up questions,
and, in general, how they’ve interacted with the lesson itself. Teachers can
customize the lessons they create on a student-by-student basis, using the
TED-Ed platform both to track individual student progress and to tailor
questions to student interests and skill levels. The site offers real-time
feedback to students, letting them know when they get answers right and
providing hints when they get answers wrong.
