Free Global Education

Here's a presentation video from last year's TED Talks conference proposing a free, online educational distribution system similar to Wikipedia, only with textbooks. The site where you can see it in action is here. (I've posted a video or two from this series before, which are linked on the right hand sidebar. I like the one called : Do schools kill creativity?)

Another, similar site that has started operation in the last couple of years is called Curriki.
