April 10, 2024 The other side of the story with Andrew Swanson
With the advent of AI and dominance of social media, it's easy for educators to worry about digital literacy and how best to integrate it into their students' learning. In this episode of HEP Talks, Luke Kemper talks with Andrew Swanson, Executive Producer for BBC Bitesize, about BBC Bitesize's news and media literacy resources collectively titled 'Other Side of the Story'.
The discussion centres on what the resources contain and how they can be used to help inform students about bias, polarisation, fake news, and artificially generated content. It also veers into what teachers and pupils think about media literacy and the credibility of the sources with which they engage.

February 21, 2024 What the Army can teach us with Richard Watts
The British Army isn't necessarily associated with education, but in this episode of HEP Talks, Richard Watts, Director of Educational and Regional Marketing for the Recruiting Partnership Project at British Army and Capita, explains to Luke Kemper that, actually, the Army is an educational provider. On top of the Army Foundation College in Harrogate, the Army has also developed the BASE - British Army Supporting Education - Programme, which provides free digital resources in multiple subjects for class teachers to use, and opportunities for pupils to learn a little bit more about the Army in the meantime.
Richard and Luke talk about these resources, how and why they were designed, and why the Army makes education one of its priorities. You can find the BASE resources at the link here: https://jobs.army.mod.uk/base/
