“BBC Forms The Guerrilla Group to Experiment with Digital Content” — from thevideoink.com by Sahil Patel

Excerpt (emphasis DSC):

BBC has created a new “digital innovation” unit aimed at developing and experimenting with new forms of content.

“Innovation at the BBC has never stood still, from the birth of radio and TV, to the first steps into the digital world with BBC Micro Computers and Ceefax, through to more recent services like BBC iPlayer,” said James Purnell, director of strategy and digital at BBC, in a statement. “The Guerrilla Group will help us explore the next-generation of BBC content and services, finding new and creative ways to tell our stories to future audiences.”

 

From DSC:
Are there enough groups/departments in the world of higher education that have this type of mission statement and purpose?  To experiment? To innovate? To find out what’s working and what’s not working? To create new kinds of learning experiences that motivate and engage the 21st century student?

I say that we need TRIMTAB Groups within the world of higher education. Now. Not later.
