Knowledgemotion, the London based company behind the world’s largest library for video in education – boclips.com – today announces the start of a partnership to provide professional and inspiring video content for Bloomsbury’s Fairchild Books.

Knowledgemotion and Bloomsbury have both endorsed recent surveys, empirical studies and industry reports which overwhelmingly agree that video in education, when used correctly, can significantly boost student engagement, enjoyment and learning outcomes. David Bainbridge, co-founder of Knowledgemotion said “we are very excited about this first project to leverage our technology, video content and creative services for one of the world’s most trusted and renowned publishers.  Video has the ability to speak to such a wide audience, so that those we inspire today may become the leading designers of tomorrow”.

Commenting about this collaboration, Priscilla McGeehon, Publisher at Fairchild Books, added “We’re pleased to enter into an agreement with Knowledgemotion, and look forward to a productive partnership. Our goal of providing dynamic, media-rich online learning opportunities through ebooks and STUDIO study tools on Bloomsbury Fashion Central aligns perfectly with Knowledgemotion’s resources.”

As promised, we have been working hard throughout the summer to increase the offering of our video library for the education community from our initial beta release. As a result, we are thrilled to announce the launch of bo 2.0, an extensive archive of 1.7 million videos for use in all kinds of education materials, from e-books and learning management systems to lesson plans and other digital products. We have drawn together content from world-renowned providers including Getty Images, Bloomberg, AP, BBC Worldwide Learning and British Movietone, and have made these videos searchable against any education curriculum or course. Not only this – our archive is growing daily as we add more videos and introduce new content partners.Thanks to our early customers and partners making use of our assets and services, we are excited that the bo story is getting bigger and better – and we now have a range of compelling case studies proving the impact of rich and relevant video in primary, secondary, higher education, corporate learning, and English language learning. These case studies can be viewed on our new website homepage at www.boclips.com.

We will have more exciting news to share with you in the coming months, so stay tuned, and thanks for being part of the home of video in education.
