主播大秀

Hi, I'm executive editor for the 主播大秀's . Alongside , head of product for Knowledge & Learning, I'm privileged to be responsible for the 主播大秀's digital output around the factual and educational genres.

In November held its annual Indie Commissioning meeting at in Salford. This event gives 主播大秀 Learning a chance to share our plans for the coming year with partners and indies.

We also presented an update on the 主播大秀's new Knowledge & Learning online product, discussing both the progress we're making and the strategy behind the product.

, controller of 主播大秀 Learning, spoke about the 主播大秀's overarching : to "inspire a life full of learning for all our audiences".

Saul laid out 主播大秀 Learning's three main areas of focus:

• We commission TV programmes (and occasional radio programmes).
• We commission and produce face-to-face events.
• We commission and produce online content for lifelong learners and students aged five to 19 and their teachers.

Saul described 主播大秀 Learning's job as influencing and collaborating with other parts of the 主播大秀, with partners and with indies to get this "life full of learning" to happen right across the 主播大秀's output, not just within the Learning department itself.

In that sense the department's mission is to act as a kind of 'glue'.

In keeping with this strategic approach, Saul, Ian and I want the Knowledge & Learning online product to play a 'glue' role too, helping bind the different parts of 主播大秀 Online together for audiences.

I'd like to thank all the independent companies who gave their time to join us and share their questions and experiences. I met a lot of folks I didn't know before and from my point of view the event was a big success.
