Last week I had hoped that the termination of the contract for Teachers TV (TTV) by the Department for Education (DFE) would lead to an orderly hand-over of material available on the TTV website. Unfortunately the situation today is less clear, with statements from the DFE promising that the programmes will be “…available to distributors on a non-exclusive basis…” with further information promised shortly. Meanwhile the TTV website has a Q&A section about the potential continuing use of content, but warning that closure of the TTV site on the 29th April 2011 will mean that any links to material inserted into VLEs, etc., will be broken.
So, just three days to go then…
