For the last fifteen months I've been on attachment with BBC Scotland learning about how R&D interfaces with production divisions. Prior to my attachment I worked closely with Ian on Backstage events such as the Edinburgh Un-Festival and Over the Air so now I'm back in the fold I've been asked to work with a small team on the closedown and migration of BBC Backstage.

A few weeks have passed since the announcement that Backstage is due to close. It's taken a while to get up to speed but recently we've really started to get a clear idea on what we need to do to close down Backstage in a way that preserves its legacy and continues to support its community. Here's a brief rundown of what we've been up to.

8 is a way of sharing all the lessons learned from our collaboration with the AHRC and making sure that the research findings produced by the funded projects are made the best use of. It contains articles from the likes of Bill Thompson, Katherine Corrick and Pat Kane on, amongst other things, media literacy, the ethics of play and digital inclusion. There are contact details for all researchers involved in the studies and an official view of KEP's aims from the lead AHRC and BBC partners. There's also a graphical representation of one of the projects - a collaboration between the production team working on CBBC's virtual word for children, Adventure Rock, and the University of Westminster - which shows the connections and influence a collaborative project builds over time.
