PBS to Launch LearningMedia Digital Education Service
PBS on Wednesday announced plans to launch a new broadband education service called PBS LearningMedia in time for the 2011-12 school year.
The service, designed for students in pre-kindergarten through college, will include classroom-ready content from 1,500 public media producers and more than 350 local PBS stations.
“Digital media content — so pervasive in the lives of children — has the potential to dramatically change the way students learn and participate in a global society,” said Paula Kerger, the president and CEO of PBS.
