rganised annually by the British Universities Film & Video Council (BUFVC), an independent charity and membership organisation,


Learning on Screen is the only UK awards celebrating media production in learning, teaching and research. This year saw a record 144 entries from more than 60


organisations submit ed to Learning on Screen: the highest levels since the awards began 11 years ago. Entries educated audiences on diverse topics, ranging from classical music and migration to World War I and Shakespeare. Submissions to Learning on Screen include student


fi lm, educational broadcast productions, resources produced in-house by colleges and universities and curriculum-focused content. All entries and nominations are available on the BUFVC website. As well as fi lm and TV productions, this year’s entry


haul included far more multimedia content than ever before, refl ecting how new technologies and user expectations are increasingly infl uencing how we deliver mainstream education. Many websites, games, apps, and eBooks


were entered into Learning on Screen, as well as, for the fi rst time, several MOOCs (massive online open courses), a trend that could well extend into coming years. The Educational Multimedia Award continues to be Learning on Screen’s fastest-growing category and it will be interesting to see


what the judges made of this year’s high- quality entries. Broadcasters, production


companies, education providers, charity staff , museum personnel and student fi lmmakers will be at ending the Learning on Screen ceremony at London’s BFI Southbank, which will be followed


by a networking reception with drinks and canapés. The Learning on Screen winners will receive their


awards from broadcaster and journalist Samira Ahmed, who has over 20 years’ broadcast experience. Samira presents BBC1’s Newswatch and Radio 4’s Front Row and has a special interest in the link between popular culture, politics and social change. Samira has also made documentary fi lms herself, and won the Stonewall Broadcast of the Year award for her fi lm about so-called 'corrective' rape in South Africa. Each year, the Learning on Screen student categories


celebrate the next generation of fi lmmakers, recognising their incredible achievements and shining a light on tomorrow’s talent. Learning on Screen’s student awards have been expanded this year to include two new dedicated awards for College FE and College HE productions. Colleges have always been encouraged to enter Learning on Screen, and now with the newly created FE and HE awards, colleges across the UK have more opportunity to champion their substantial student accomplishments. As well as announcing the winners, all


nominations will be showcased at London’s BFI Southbank on Thursday 23 April. Last year’s ceremony was presented by historian and television presenter Lucy Worsley, who said of the awards ceremony: “It’s a treat just to at end the awards evening – you'll meet some wonderful people and learn about some interesting projects.” Join us on Thursday 23 April at the BFI Southbank


to view the leading educational media productions and network with industry professionals, education specialists and student fi lmmakers. ET
