"Tables charting the chemical elements have been around since the 19th century - but this modern version has a short video about each one. We've done all 118 - but our job's not finished. Now we're updating all the videos with new stories, better samples and bigger experiments. Plus we're making films about other areas of chemistry, latest news and occasional adventures away from the lab. We've also started a new series - The Molecular Videos - featuring our favourite molecules and compounds. All these videos are created by video journalist Brady Haran, featuring real working chemists from the University of Nottingham."

"This MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) has been created by the Cambridge-based partnership of exam board OCR, Cambridge University Press (CUP) and the Raspberry Pi Foundation. The course is based on OCR's GCSE Computing curriculum and gives participants an excellent opportunity to investigate how computers work, how they are used, and to develop computer programming and problem-solving skills. The course has been designed for 14-16 year olds; but is free and open to all, and can be used either as a course or a resource to support teachers.   The course is running now; it has no start or end date.   Content will be released on a phased basis with all learning episodes available from April 2014. We want to learn as we go along and welcome your feedback. We see this phase as a shared experience and will take on learner and teacher feedback to adapt, tailor and carve the way for phases 2 and 3"

"The How Games Affect The Brain Infographic examines the neurology of gaming. As with most things, "gaming" (or being engaged in video games) has both positives and negatives when it comes to developing minds. Too much gaming, and the positive effects are overshadowed by the negative. Yet, the right balance can add another avenue for pursuing educational goals and achievement. As a result, more and more programs are using gaming to reach and teach students in ways they never could before. Therapy programs, schools, and even research scientists have all benefitted from the strategic use of games to increase success."

FilmmakerIQ.com is a group of filmmakers born in this new media wave but never forgetting the past. We use the tools we have available to us today to tell stories our forefathers never dreamed possible. We have reached a technological turning point in filmmaking. What was once expensive and time consuming is now a press of a button and a few mouse clicks. It's easy to celebrate or shun this revolution as it is just as easy to forget the whole medium of filmmaking is just over a century old. But the mechanisms underlying our young medium- the emotional connection to story and imagination - are handed down to us from distant ancestors far into the past. From stories round a flickering campfire to mythic heroes battling on a flickering screen, the mechanism remains the same. That mechanism is what makes us human.
