| Seminar Description | BBC Scotland Learning has a rich history of schools content across TV, radio and online. In line with Curriculum for Excellence and the skills agenda, the department is working to a wider remit, around how BBC Scotland can contribute towards improving the minds of the diverse Scottish population. Output will be aimed less at preparing pupils for exams, more at preparing the population for 21st century work and life.
Specific focus is being placed on: - Personalised learning - allowing learners to use our content in ways most engaging and relevant to individuals.
- Cross-curricula skills and competencies – digital media literacy, creativity, learning to learn, collaboration, citizenship, personal confidence, wellbeing, ‘brain training’.
Nick Simons, Head of Learning at BBC Scotland, will talk through the current portfolio, including the Scottish iterations of Bitesize, Learning Zone and Blast, along with wholly-locally commissioned content. He will also showcase BBC Scotland’s 'The L.A.B (learn @ BBC Scotland)' at our Pacific Quay headquarters, offering courses for all ages in how to create digital media. Nick will be happy to take your questions and suggestions around how BBC Scotland can support learning in Scotland. |
