BBC Academy Plans
The launch of the BBC Academy included the announcement of a number of partnerships which are being developed.
The BBC’s CoJo (College of Journalism) online training is being made available via www.bbc.co.uk in the UK (and, in 2010, via subscription overseas through an arrangement with Oxford University Press). Anne Morrison, Head of the BBC Academy, called the new BBC strategy an expression of ‘enlightened self-interest’ because ‘there’s a danger to the BBC if freelancers are not trained’.
Other developments planned include:
• creating the Diversity 2010 programme with Channel 4
• collaboration with ITV to improve employability in the industry for people with disabilities
• sharing the BBC’s multiplatform foundation training model (piloted with BBC Vision) with the outside industry
• mounting workshops on how to develop and pitch ideas for independent and in-house producers outside London (to increase the number of commissions from the nations).
Bournemouth, through the CEMP has held discussions with the BBC Academy to explore a collaboration with BU validating qualifications for Production Managers.
BBC Academy training internal priorities for 2010 include: supporting Journalism Production Tools - the new ENPS (Essential News Production System which was originally developed with/for the BBC by Associated Press), W1 and Salford.

The Media Gallery training suite has recently been moved from Marylebone to White City by ATG Broadcast to support the BBC Academy's work. The re-constructed control gallery has an 11 bay production desk and a 3 metre wide sound desk, and it will be used to train on tape-based systems and file-based technologies.
