10L: Giles Hearn

This means I’ve brought both technical and creative abilities to everything I’ve ever done, which is mostly a blessing.

Six years in and what do I know?

Learning on the web – Can it be as simple as that?
I was reminded of one of my early exchanges of views on arrival in the BBC this week. I was curious about the deliberation of the commissioning process and about the edifice that was being created under the learning banner. Coming, as I had, from the rapid fire and restless world of search, this all […]
