There's no such thing as 'the' answer to anything, but Pecha Kucha does emerge as a good way to stimulate active learning in classroom settings. As Diane Shew writes, "In its original form, a presenter offered 20 slides, and had 20 seconds to present each slide. Each slide is to be comprised of a photo only, no words. This storytelling presentation utilizes imagery and efficient use of spoken word to create a memorable, meaningful, and concise presentation." You'll probably want to vary the format (I like the format of 'lightning talks' and find it works well online) not only because PK is constraining, but also because it's copyrighted to the hilt (another example of why we can't have nice things).
