It’s not often that I get really excited about a web site, but the BBC’s free online courses in journalism and production have just blown me away. I can’t quite believe it – ready made courses, designed for their own staff training needs, free to the public. My own favourites are Minidisc for Radio, the The BBC news styleguide and Image Production for the Web, not to mention all the ones on video production. A really remarkable resource, worth hundreds if not thousands of pounds. If this is what the licence fee is going on, I’m happy to pay it.
