SpringboardTV: An internet TV station to enrich teaching & learning
The SpringboardTV project is a JISC funded Curriculum Delivery Project run under the Transforming Curriculum Design and Delivery Through Technology Programme.
The project has established an Internet TV Station to enrich curriculum delivery by providing enhanced resources and a diversity of learning experiences for learners across a range of the college’s media curriculum.
A fully operational TV production and broadcast environment enabling learners to develop contemporary Media skills has been developed.
The station broadcasts streamed and ‘on-demand’ video content, via the Internet, across the college’s curriculum areas to inspire and engage 14-19 year olds. The post project vision is to sustain and extend the resource to the wider community to raise aspirations and inspire achievement.
"The creation of Springboard TV has had a major impact on the motivation and passion of our students for their subject.
Springboard TV enabled us to reverse the decline in applications and enrolments, improve the engagement, retention, achievement and attainment of students in the media area.
The technologies identified and used within the project have clear applications within other curriculum areas in the college.
The channel has been adopted by the college as a communication tool and is now central to the college’s marketing strategy.
The project has opened up opportunities for engagement with external agencies and organisations.
The resource and physical environment available to learners has been significantly improved. We have developed a branded identity, re-modelled studios, upgraded production equipment and instituted realistic industry-standard work flow by creating ‘real life’ production companies.
The curriculum delivery model has been re-designed, integrating practical with theory in a more coherent mix of blended learning. The focus is on the ‘learner journey’ which provides opportunities for realistic work experience.
Members of the project team shared their experience in a wide variety of events with schools, fellow providers in FE and HE, including workshops, presentations, demonstrations and taster sessions. They have presented at regional and national events."
