"Riveting talks by remarkable people, free to the world"
TED videos are great discussion starters. Videos average between 3 and 20 minutes. You can do a search to find videos of a certain length. Even learners with busy lives can usually find 10-20 minutes to watch a video. Asking them to comment on the video in a discussion board can foster some interesting discussions, not to mention helping to develop critical thinking skills.
Blaise Aguera y Arcas demonstrates the work he is doing for Microsoft on augmented reality maps. I will use the 8 minute video to act as a discussion starter in my New Communication Technology course.
