Keep Learning 16th April 2020 The 5 ways to wellbeing - Keep Learning An introduction to wellbeing and how we can use the five ways to wellbeing during the Covid-19 crisis Keep Learning Welcome to the third in our series of wellbeing tips - Keep Learning. Continued learning through life enhances self-esteem and encourages interaction with others (often socially, although this can be via electronic media at the present time) and encourages a more active life. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the opportunity to engage in work or educational activities particularly helps to lift older people out of depression. The practice of setting goals, which is related to adult learning in particular, has been strongly associated with higher levels of wellbeing. Here are a few suggestions of things you could try right now: Find out something about your colleagues Read the news or a book Do a crossword or Sudoku Research something you’ve always wondered about Learn a new word. For more sustained learning, there are many things that we could consider trying. A lot of us have more free time now than ever before and whilst we may have been too busy before to consider making time to learn a new language or perhaps take up a new instrument, we could make use of this unexpected free time to take on such a challenge. For our children, learning is something that usually happens in school and which, aside from some gentle nudging to complete homework or do reading, we as parents don’t have to think too much about. Depending on the age of our children, we are now trying to home educate as best we can, whilst doing our own jobs and attempting to strike the balance between parent/caregiver and teacher. It is important to remember at this difficult time that our children will mostly remember how we reacted to this situation as a family and how safe they felt. It is also important to remember that most children are out of school right now and that we, as parents are not expected to teach our children in the same way that they would be educated at school. The most important thing we can do for our children at the moment is to keep them at home and keep them safe. Ensure that they have access to the educational tools that school are sending out for them and encourage them to engage with learning so that they too boost their wellbeing by meeting targets and keeping their brains active. Suggestions for Adults Learn a Language - There are some free online apps for learning languages; DuoLingo is free www.duolingo.com and babble www.uk.babbel.com is offering free content during the lockdown. Now is a really good time to learn something that could enhance your career, there may be computer packages or programmes that you have been meaning to get to grips with. You could try and do some online courses which are specific to your job. If you are interested in computer programming, Code Cademy has a learn to code for free offer www.codecademy.com Learn a new instrument – There are several online videos for learning how to play a new instrument, you can also order books for learners from online retailers and you can rent instruments to see if you like them before you commit to buying them. You can even find a music teacher offering lessons online www.yourspacemusiclessons.com Page 2 Learn to cook something different – we often have a set of go to recipes that we use each week, take advantage of being at home during the day and try to learn some new recipes or a new style of cooking – you could do this with the kids. We are trying to perfect our sourdough breadmaking at the moment and it has certainly been a tasty learning curve - it’s definitely a good job we are managing to get our exercise in. The Open University has lots of free courses available via their online learning hub, OpenLearn www.open.edu/openlearn. This is a really good way to see if you enjoy studying at home, if you enjoy online learning you might consider taking a degree, a masters or a diploma with them in the future. Older children may be interested in looking at this too. The Arts – The National Gallery has online virtual tours and there are lots of virtual streaming events at theatres, art galleries and museums. There are some live concerts available and several theatre productions are being streamed online too. Again, this is something you could do with your children, particularly when they are tiring of “home-school” We are trying to do one arts and one learning about the world thing a week to add variety. Suggestions for kids The websites Oxford Owl and Twinkl have some wonderful resources for home learning with primary aged children. BBC Bitesize offers learning and revision materials for all ages and Scholastic has resources for older children. Art for Kids Hub is a great youtube channel for doing art with kids (fun for adults to follow along too!) and National Geographic Kids is also a great resource www.natgeokids.com/uk Reading with little children is really good for their language development. When you want to read to your child but have a zillion other things to do, it would be really nice if someone else could do it. Cbeebies bedtime stories offers just that, with Celebrities reading stories every evening, this is available on the bbc iplayer too. I happen to know its Tom Hardy week from the 27th April to the 1st of May! Page 3 Virtual Trips (Mars! Zoos! Yellowstone! and more! – the internet is a wonderful thing right now and your imagination is the limit) The Nasa website has some wonderful learning activities for older children and some brilliant insights into space to share with the younger ones. www.jpl.nasa.gov/edu/learn/tag/search/Mars Some Zoos are live streaming every day, Chester Zoo www.chesterzoo.org/virtual-zoo have a daily schedule available and it is also worth looking at Zoos across the world. The Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington, USA is offering some online learning materials and also has live web cams for the elephants, lions and pandas at nationalzoo.si.edu/webcams Yellowstone National Park – this beautiful natural park in Montana, USA has an area on its website giving information about how you can experience Yellowstone virtually – this is a lovely way to see what is happening a bit further away from home in spring time . the bears are just coming out of hibernation!! The Monteray Bay Aquarium in California also has online web cameras including a sea cam, a shark cam and penguin cam. As a family this week, try to learn something new together and start one new thing each too. Keeping on learning ensures that our brains are active and that we don’t get bored by repeating familiar and comfortable tasks all the time. Challenge yourself a little, be brave, you might discover a new passion for something that you will go onto enjoy for years to come.

    Diamond Technical Account and Methodology What is Diamond? Diamond is designed to answer two questions: - Does the workforce on UK productions, both on and off-screen, reflect the diversity of the UK population? - Are audiences seeing themselves reflected on-screen. With the support of production companies, Diamond collects diversity data directly from cast and crew working on TV programmes (actual data), as well as information about how those on-screen might be perceived by viewing audiences (perceived data). Diamond data collection Scope Diamond is collecting data from: UK original productions commissioned by BBC, ITV, Channel 4, C5/ViacomCBS and Sky. All genres (although we do not currently report on film, sport and news) A large number of on and off-screen TV production roles (see Appendix 2) Programmes broadcast across the following channels BBC One, BBC Two, BBC Scotland, CBBC, CBEEBIES, CITV, GMTV1, GMTV2, ITV Encore, ITV1, ITV2, ITV3, ITV4, ITVBe, 4seven, Channel4, E4, Film Four, More 4, 5 Star, Channel5, Challenge TV, Paramount Network, Pick TV, Real Lives, Sky Arts, Sky Atlantic, Sky One, Sky Two, Sky Witness1 Data about 6 diversity characteristics: gender, gender identity, age, ethnicity, disability and sexual orientation. Diamond is not collecting data about: Programmes which have not been commissioned by the five Diamond broadcasters People working across broadcasting more generally, outside of production (our data are not overall workforce statistics). People who are not making a significant contribution to a programme (for example part of a crowd scene) More information about what is and isn’t collected can be found in the guidance notes issued to producers.

  • Researching Digital on Screen Graphics Executive Sum M Ary
    Researching Digital On Screen Graphics Executive Sum m ary Background In Spring 2010, the BBC commissioned independent market research company, Ipsos MediaCT to conduct research into what the general public, across the UK thought of Digital On Screen Graphics (DOGs) – the channel logos that are often in the corner of the TV screen. The research was conducted between 5th and 11th March, with a representative sample of 1,031 adults aged 15+. The research was conducted by interviewers in-home, using the Ipsos MORI Omnibus. The key findings from the research can be found below. Key Findings Do viewers notice DOGs? As one of our first questions we split our sample into random halves and showed both halves a typical image that they would see on TV. One was a very busy image, with a DOG present in the top left corner, the other image had much less going on, again with the DOG in the top left corner. We asked respondents what the first thing they noticed was, and then we asked what they second thing they noticed was. It was clear from the results that the DOGs did not tend to stand out on screen, with only 12% of those presented with the ‘less busy’ screen picking out the DOG (and even fewer, 7%, amongst those who saw the busy screen). Even when we had pointed out DOGs and talked to respondents specifically about them, 59% agreed that they ‘tend not to notice the logos’, with females and viewers over 55, the least likely to notice them according to our survey.

Notes on the data • PSB Channels – Where possible data has been provided for BBC One, BBC Two, ITV1, ITV Breakfast, Channel 4, Channel 5 and the BBC’s PSB digital channels: BBC Three, BBC Four, CBBC, Cbeebies, BBC News and BBC Parliament. BBC HD has been excluded from much of the analysis in the report as much of its output is simulcast from the core BBC channels and therefore would represent a disproportionate amount of broadcast hours and spend. Please refer to individual footnotes and chart details indicating when a smaller group of these channels is reported on. ITV1 includes GMTV1 unless otherwise stated. Data for S4C is shown in a separate section, apart from S4C’s children’s output which is included within the children’s section of the report.

  • Bbc Response to “The Future of Children's Television
    BBC RESPONSE TO “THE FUTURE OF CHILDREN’S TELEVISION PROGRAMMING” 1. Introduction and summary 1.1. The BBC welcomes Ofcom’s discussion paper of the 3rd October 2007 and the opportunity to engage in debate around the importance of provision of UK-originated television programming for children. 1.2. Children’s programming is among the most important content the BBC produces. At its best, children’s television is a model for public service broadcasting – it has been informing, educating and entertaining millions of British children for 60 years. 1.3. The BBC plays a unique and central role in the provision of Children’s TV programming in the UK. The BBC’s level of investment is far higher than any other provider in the UK broadcasting market, its reach and quality perception is higher than any other broadcaster, and the contribution that the BBC makes to the UK’s creative industries in this area is well recognised. It is a training ground for producers; a standard setter in terms of programme quality; a model for other providers in terms of diversity and on-screen portrayal; and a trailblazer on the web and multi-platform. 1.4. Through a unique range of UK-produced output, BBC Children’s contributes to all the BBC’s public purposes, providing dedicated programmes which engage and inspire children and encourage them to participate and interact with broadcast content. The output provides positive role models of children for children, and through programmes like Newsround, opens children’s eyes and minds to the world around them. Television can help children to understand themselves and their role in the world, and through moments of silliness and humour help children to relax and laugh out loud.
