Phil and Sinead described how the Knowledge and Learning Product would enable learning journeys all through 91Èȱ¬ content and on multiple devices. A film gave two examples; finding out about Madagascar Tortoises, and using 91Èȱ¬ Food across smartphone, tablet, and TV to bake a cake and upload a victorious photograph. They took three questions.
Bookmarking live content and being able to access related content on the website is part of the plan, and the first question was about bookmarking live content across the rest of 91Èȱ¬ online. Phil answered yes.
We see this as equally applicable across the whole of online … the recipe binder is just the same as a collection of news stories ... as a binder for your favourite sports team ... You should abstract ... across all of online.
Andrew Fox captured this ambition on twitter:

Finally, Sinead was asked whether individual brands, such as Bitesize, would disappear. Confirming that commissions would continue whatever the brand, Sinead said:
Ìý
We're still thinking about what sits within the Knowledge and Learning banner, what is a brand in itself ... this product isn't officially launching until Autumn 2012 ... but we still need to create the same kind of content we have always created from a learning perspective ...
