Educational Broadcasting 2020

I note that BBC Scotland has been broadcasting educational programmes this week as was suggested by the BBC last week. On Wednesday, they were on for at least an hour and a half.
RTE have also announced that they will be broadcasting from 11 - 12 on weekdays on RTE2 a programme for primary school children. It appears the actress who was in TG4's Afric is one of the teachers, I think she trained as a teacher.

However, is there any sign of the network schedule of programmes? Anyone know what's going on - I thought they were to appear on the Red Button channel.

Could the BBC dig into the archives, for old episodes of Look and read, albeit without the course materials?

They could show the ‘Skeletons and Skulls’ edition of Words & Pictures, or are we not quite at that point yet?

Now is an ideal time to relaunch the Learning Zone, surely?

Do the BBC and C4 do anything at all now for schools. I know content has long disappeared from the channels but how much do they do online. I'm guessing virtually nothing in programme form.

Would have been good for the virtual tour Chester Zoo today to have a TV outlet - a C4 station the obvious choice. Think "Secret Life of the Zoo Live" would have rated pretty well too.

Let’s be honest, it’s probably easier and cheaper to use online resources than digging up ancient school programmes that have no relevance to teachers and children today

If the content is online the target audience can get at it and are arguably more likely to watch it there than on a linear platform?

The fact a presenter of the day is delivering information while wearing flare trousers and harvesting massive sideburns doesn't change the basics of that information. Like I said in the other thread, the basic principles still apply - 2+2 is still 4, gravity still applies, mixing ammonia and bleach is still toxic and biology is happening inside us now.

Also there's always a chance of some of the ancient programmes being deemed non-PC or similar, and then the media backlash.

They wouldn't just put them out without somebody doing a Compliance form would they?

That said, the Look and Read series Geordie Racer is unlikely to see the light of day again for YewTree-esque reasons.

One of the drivers for the BBC doing educational TV on Red Button or a linear channel is to provide educational content for those who DON'T have online access. There are still areas without decent broadband, and families who can't afford it.

No, but teaching methods DO change, and so does the curriculum itself.
