The global publisher DK and world-leading producer of educational video content, and Future Screens NI R&D research awardee, Makematic, have announced that they will be working together to create 500 original videos based on DK’s uniquely informative and engaging book titles.
The videos will target K-12 education, including informal learning, and are being developed to license to third party curriculum and content providers including education technology companies, select publishers, library services and children’s apps.
This partnership dovetails with two of DK’s strategic goals: to increase their presence in the education market and reach a larger learning audience, and to work with partners to develop and distribute content in dynamic digital formats.
The first 50 videos in the series have been co-produced with educational video platform ClickView, with funding from Future Screens NI funding partner Northern Ireland Screen, and will be available on the ClickView platform from February.
The first videos in the series are available to license now via plus.makematic.com
