We now have approximately 360 podcasts across our six websites, with over 80 hours of content. The History site (www.theHistoryFaculty.org) is our largest and most popular site. But please don't keep it to yourselves. Please share the resources with colleagues teaching the disciplines below:

What teachers and students are saying about us:
“I’ve emailed all of our staff and our sixth form about your site… Thanks for such a brilliant resource.”
“I think the podcasts are really good and have been telling my students about them as an extra resource which they can access, especially the students wanting to go on to study the subject further at university.”
“I [am] interested in preparing the students for a different style of teaching. They are not used to being in lectures but most of them will be learning through this method when they go to university next year. They enjoyed the highly academic approach. It made a change for them to learn from someone other than me! We watched the whole video then discussed some of the issues raised ... They were interested in the content of the podcast and excited to find that they understood the issues raised. During the podcast, I had asked the students to make notes about the most important areas of debate. They had not done this before but they did it well. The notes they wrote up showed that they had learnt a lot.”
“These are a great idea and a brilliant resource.”
“ I find the way it is done new and refreshing and different and I have learnt from the podcast and it has given me ideas as well.”
The Faculties has been made possible by a grant from JISC (part of the Higher Education Funding Council for England)
