We inspire learning
in all age groups and
nationalities around the world

BBC Worldwide Learning uses a dynamic mix of broadcasting, publishing and new media to inspire all age groups and nationalities around the world, providing resources for learning at school, home and work. An area of major growth for the future, BBC Worldwide’s learning business combines three exciting areas – lifelong learning, children’s learning and language teaching – and brings quality products to students of all ages.

Our recently-developed website, www.bbclearning.com, will offer visitors practical guidance and independent advice on effective lifelong learning, giving a further dimension to the branded blocks of BBC Learning programmes that have been made widely available through BBC Prime over the last year. The site will support professional development, studies, special interests and language learning and feature a searchable directory of international distance learning and online courses.

 In children’s learning, BBC Worldwide is a leading schools publisher. Last year it was the UK’s largest schools supplier of videos and the UK’s top-selling publisher for geography, history, religious education and music for primary schools.

Much of our output in this area is aimed at creating innovative ways of supporting core learning skills in young age groups, using a combination of traditional publishing and interactive technology to help children learn both at school and at home. Earlier this year, we joined forces with Spark Learning to create new interactive CD-ROMs and books for the home learning market, featuring games and fun activities and incorporating key National Curriculum numeracy and literacy objectives for 3-11 year olds.

Greater use of information technology in primary schools has led to an agreement between BBC Worldwide and Sherston, a leading education software supplier in the UK, to develop a new range of core subject CD-ROMs for primary schools (ages 4-11).
