BBC Children\u2019s and Education is making a \u00a36 million ($7.4 million) investment into its online education platform, BBC Bitesize.<\/p>\n
This year, the BBC marks 100 years since its first education broadcast. It also marks 25 years of the learning brand BBC Bitesize, used by nearly half of all secondary school students in the U.K. to help them navigate the school curriculum, including homework, revision and careers advice.<\/p>\n
To celebrate 100 years of BBC Education, BBC Teach will broadcast a special Live Lesson on CBBC and BBC iPlayer on April 22. The interactive commemorative lesson will be broadcast to children in schools nationwide, and students will be challenged to produce their own radio report for CBBC\u2019s Hacker T Dog\u2019s radio show, developing skills such as interviewing techniques, scriptwriting and presentation.<\/p>\n
The investment will enhance content discovery, recommendation systems and self-curation features, making BBC Bitesize content more personalized, relevant and easier to find.<\/p>\n
Patricia Hidalgo, BBC’s director of Children\u2019s and Education, said: \u201cOur Reithian values to \u2018inform, educate and entertain\u2019 are the driving force behind the content we provide young people and their families. To \u2018educate\u2019 is at the heart of the BBC\u2019s purpose for the last 100 years and we are so proud of the innovation we have pioneered as we have helped the nation to learn.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re continuing this rich heritage as we evolve BBC Bitesize for the next generation of young learners investing in technology to deliver personalized content supported by the educational rigor and trust we have earned over this centenary.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
