London-based Knowledgemotion, the company behind boclips the world’s largest video library for education, has added new content libraries to its collection, significantly increasing the number of specialist instructional videos available to the Secondary and Higher Education market.


The newest content partners include renowned The Institute of Ideas (IAI), where distinguished panel members debate the pertinent topics and issues of the day, encouraging the interrogation of accepted ideas. Edward McGovern, Head of Programmes at The IAI, said "The Institute of Art and Ideas is delighted to be partnering with boclips to distribute cutting edge debates and talks from the world's leading thinkers to the UK's top educational institutions and publications".
boclips’ psychology collection is expanded with the representation of Siren Films, founded by zoologist Dr. Wendy McEvoy in 2002. By filming unscripted, authentic material and only in real homes and childcare settings, Siren Films offers unique videos about childhood development and behaviours, that are endorsed by expert Phil Stringer, Principal Educational Psychologist , who has stated “The importance and potential value of Siren Films cannot be sufficiently emphasised.
In my opinion the quality of their films is as good as any one is ever likely to see.” And Sir David Attenborough – “I watched with unalloyed delight”.

 

boclips’ Content Director, Zoe Moore, said “We’re excited to have increased the number of content partnerships on our platform, and to do so with such respected and renowned brands”.
