For instance, changing the way test questions are shaped can allow a student to think critically, test the student's ability to access resources and experts available online and provide them with practical, real-world experience.

How could Nuit Blanche use this video (or video in general) to capture the imagination of Torontonians and get more people out on the street and enjoy this event?
