A comment on Conversation: What is the conversion rate of 100 TEDCREDs? Is TED University possible?

Feb 17 2011: I think that the things people learn become a part of them in a way that is more valuable then any official credit. As a high school student I spend so much time proving that I really am learning material and being marked on it that sometimes getting credit for learning gets in the way of actual learning. While there would be many advantages to receiving credit for something so many people already love, I’m worried that adding credit might detract from what makes TED Talks unique compared to other forms of education. For me TED is so special because no one is marking you, it’s just pure learning.
