Yes, I think the TED talks are a part of what I'm discussing. Though their format is still primarily lecture based, and never (to my knowledge) dialectic or interactive, the diversity of subject matter, and the lack of institutional impediments seems to make it exponentially more useful to the cross-pollination of ideas and the organic development of a line of inquiry, rather than top-down knowledge drops.

Thanks for reminding me, I reall need to check out the Khan institute. And coursera? News to me. Thanks!
